::But doesn't an article being a "stub" implies that its length is so short (1-2 sentences + image + list of appearances) that the stub can be seen in the bottom without scrolling? Articles like [[Voi Greater Outlands Police Bureau]] have one sentence and hence have the stub template in the bottom (also, is that article even notable enough for its own page?). If you need to scroll down to see the stub, the article is probably not really a stub unless it has three to four templates at the top (which is a very rare case and we try to avoid that). In the [[Series 12 Single Operator Lift Apparatus]] article, the only reason why I need to scroll down is because of the section under the Category box ("Contribute" and "Recent contributors to this page"). Isn't this how most wikis work? —<span style="font-family: Eurostile;">'''[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:#000;">SPARTAN</span>]][[User talk:Spartan331|<span style="color:#888;">331</span>]]'''</span> 23:27, 3 March 2013 (EST) | ::But doesn't an article being a "stub" implies that its length is so short (1-2 sentences + image + list of appearances) that the stub can be seen in the bottom without scrolling?

:A stub just implies that the article is short and could use expansion. Having the template on the top looks better and is more noticeable since people tend to look at the top of the page first. Wikipedia places them on the bottom, a fact that has always annoyed me. Since Halopedia generally places them at the top, it just makes sense to put it in writing.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 23:44, 3 March 2013 (EST) | :::A stub just implies that the article is short and could use expansion.
