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...)

P.S.: Same goes for the "Special:Maintenance" page at the same place,
while you're at it :-)
