What if each article had a flag for stub (or entry) vs. article. Then we populate all of these flags based on 1000 byte limit. Later the flag can be toggled for smaller articles that are complete in less then 1000 bytes. There could be logic behind the flag that would prevent it from being set if the article is under a certain size if that is a concern.
I agree that users should be given a default preference of random (or searching) stubs or articles. But they should always have the option of going against their default preference without having to change their preference.

For starters, a 500-1000 byte minimum page size should be part of the current spec (keep this in mind though: there are many minor topics that can be considered to be minimal articles with only 500 bytes). Other more complicated criteria can be added later.
