An initial version of "stub detection" is running at Lee's test site. Links to stub articles (less than 500 chars) are shown in green. REDIRECTs are shown as normal links. For example, try http://www.piclab.com/wikitest/wiki.phtml?title=Biology I suggest to * make the minimum size for a "real" article a user option * set it to zero as standard which means nobody gets this special mark-up, except they choose it in their prefernces. That would avoid confusion, especially among newcomers (blue links? and red ones? and green ones?). Also, everybody can decide how large an article has to be at least... PLEASE, gimme feedback, or I'll implement it as is! (just so the "hate it" can register in time, for once...) Magnus P.S.: Same goes for the "Special:Maintenance" page at the same place, while you're at it :-) [Wikipedia-l] To manage your subscription to this list, please go here: http://www.nupedia.com/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
