This is the '''asbox''' or '''article stub box''' meta template.

It is used to create (but preferably '''not''' without consulting [[WP:WSS]]) or standardise existing ''article stub box'' templates.

==Usage==
This is a standard template for creating standard stub templates. It supports most, if not all, stub template styles in place prior to [[26 September]] [[2007]] (UTC).

===Parameters===
====Default parameters 1-4====
The standard implementation passes four default parameters through to this template to allow for future expansion.

====<code>icon<code> or <code>image</code>====
If the image is called with an icon template, <code>icon</code> is set to the full syntax of the template; that's the name of the template, plus any arguments (separated with '''|''' ), including the <code>{{</code> and <code>}}</code> around it. If the image is called explicitly <code>image</code> is the name of the image :- <code>pix</code> will likely be required as well, the default value for <code>pix</code> is 40x30.

====<code>pix</code>====
The size of the image, only ''required'' if <code>image</code> is set and it's size is not 40x30. [[Defensive programming]] suggests setting the value of <code>pix</code> even if it is 40x30.

====<code>subject</code> and <code>qualifier</code>====
This <code>subject</code> article <code>qualifier</code> is a stub...

Examples:

*This '''geography''' article '''about a place in Rohan''' is a stub...
*This '''elementary physics''' article is a stub...
*This article '''about Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer''' is a stub...

====<code>category</code>====
The stub category the articles should go in. Note the template will only include articles in the stub category, unless the parameter [[#tempsort|<code>tempsort</code> ]] is set in which case templates (in particular the stub template itself) will also be included - sorted with the value of " " (space) followed by <code>tempsort</code>.

====<code>tempsort</code>====
If exists the template will be put in it's own category sorted as " " (space) followed by <code>tempsort</code>.

====<code>category1</code>====
An optional second stub category the articles should go in. Note the template will only include articles in the stub category, unless the parameter [[#tempsort|<code>tempsort1</code> ]] is set in which case templates (in particular the stub template itself) will also be included - sorted with the value of " " (space) followed by <code>tempsort1</code>.

====<code>tempsort1</code>====
If exists the template will be put in it's own second category sorted as " " (space) followed by <code>tempsort1</code>.

====<code>note</code>====
If exists the value will be added, as a "small" note, to the stub template.

===Examples===
====Using <code>image</code>====
<pre><nowiki>
{{Asbox |{{{1|}}}|{{{2|}}}|{{{3|}}}|{{{4|}}}| image = Ostfold_vapen.png
| pix = 30
| subject = [[Østfold]] location
| qualifier =
| category = Østfold geography stubs
}}
</nowiki></pre>

Appears as:

{{Asbox |{{{1|}}}|{{{2|}}}|{{{3|}}}|{{{4|}}}| image = Ostfold_vapen.png
| pix = 30
| subject = [[Østfold]] location
| qualifier =
| category = Template documentation
}}

Based on {{tl|Østfold-geo-stub}}
:''(<code>category</code> has been over-ridden to keep this page out of the stub category)''

====Using <code>icon</code> and category1====

Using <code>icon</code> allows more flexibility in some circumstances than <code>image</code> and <code>pix</code>, since it can be used with templates. As of January 24, 2007, the new parser requires the <code>{{</code> and <code>}}</code> around the used template, and a single <code>|</code> is used instead of <code><nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki></code> to separate the parameters. Old code relying on <code><nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki></code> will need to be updated:

<pre><nowiki>
{{Asbox |{{{1|}}}|{{{2|}}}|{{{3|}}}|{{{4|}}}
| icon = {{Soccer icon|Wales|50}}
| subject = [[biography|biographical]]
| qualifier = related to Welsh [[football (soccer)]]
| category = Welsh football biography stubs
| category1 = Welsh people stubs
| tempsort =
}}
</nowiki></pre>

Appears as:

{{Asbox |{{{1|}}}|{{{2|}}}|{{{3|}}}|{{{4|}}}
| icon = {{Soccer icon|Wales|50}}
| subject = [[biography|biographical]]
| qualifier = related to Welsh [[football (soccer)]]
| category = Template documentation
}}

Based on {{tl|Wales-footy-bio-stub}}

==Whatlinkshere==
The page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Asbox/whatlinkshere&limit=5000&from=0 here] should have a complete list of all templates using this template. This list can be compared with existing list of stub-templates to identify new stub-templates created out of process.
