I guess that conclusion is that we are doing something wrong.
They're not forbidden: they're just in a different location
(Wiktionary and Commons).
Could you clarify what you mean by "stubs are frowned upon"? The only
reason I can think of for that is that it would be better if they
were developed into better articles rather than left as stubs...
