The documentation does not say where this template should be placed. Does it go on the article or talk page? Does it go on the top or bottom of the page?
Hi Marc: "Stubs" are short, frequently unreferenced or barely referenced articles, which have a lot of opportunity for expansion through writing and research. This template, is part of a larger class of "stub templates" used by Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting at the bottom of stub articles. For more information about what a stub is, see WP:Stub. Let me know if I can help you at all with writing about novels or using this template. Sadads (talk) 17:23, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Sadads: I know what stubs are. My question was about using the template. I'm trying to remember what the sequence of events was. I believe I was on an article (written by someone else) that was a stub and so wanted to flag it with the template.
While I really wanted to add a hatnotice and in looking around I ran across this template and:
The usage section in the documentation does not say where the template should be used. Does it on on the article or the article talk page? Does it go at the top of bottom of the page?
While trying to figure out how to use the template I clicked on See guidelines for writing about novels which the template linked to. I was seeking information on how to flag an article as a stub. The word "stub" never appears on that article.
This template is about novels in the 2000s. It's silent on if a similar template exists for novels in the 1900s.
