Documentation
To use the script click the Stub search
button, this should be in the same place as the move button. This will load the stub search menu. Once loaded you can scroll trough the list or use the search box. If the search box is empty, only the first level down of children of the current selection will be shown, however if there is text in the search box, all descendants matching the search term will be shown. Please note that if templates or categories do not come up, they may not be properly listed on the stub type list. To ask for help with correctly listing things on the stub type list, please go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting.
To select a template or category click on it. This will clear the search box and restrict further searches to that item's descendants. To go up use the drop down box to select the parent, then click on the Go up to
button.
To add a template, select it and then click on the Add {{...}} to this article
button or click the Replace old stub templates with {{...}}
. You can select if you want to load changes. If you do not load changes, an alert box will appear instead.
