If you create an article like the one above{{mdash}}with only one paragraph{{mdash}}always remember to use {{tlx|stub}} to mark it as a [[:Category:Stubs|stub]]. Again, articles should be unbiased and neutral, regardless of how the OWOT community feels about the topic.

Also, note about orphaned articles{{mdash}}orphaned articles are articles no other articles link to. Since this makes them nearly unreachable and, as such, effectively useless, this Wiki should have no orphaned articles. To minimize the number of orphaned articles, all articles should be cross-referenced and smaller articles should be condensed into larger ones if possible. See {{section link|Our World of Text:State of the Wiki|De-orphaning orphaned articles}} for more ways to de-orphan articles.
A final word on orphaned articles: orphaned articles are articles that no other articles link to, making them nearly unreachable and, as such, effectively useless. To ensure all articles are accessible, cross-reference articles and combine smaller articles into larger, more comprehensive ones whenever possible. See {{section link|Our World of Text:State of the Wiki|De-orphaning orphaned articles}} for more ways to de-orphan articles.
