Stub task

Hey there! Saw your recent task addition, was wondering if you could provide some specifics. Do you mean change the text up to show like "This game article is a stub" or "This mod article is a stub"? I'd love to help with making the changes, I just need some additional info. If you've got a pretty good idea of the various parameters you'd want to see added, and what they should do, let me know and I can make it happen.

Hello. I think it would be useful to have more specific stubs that an editor can search through based on their interest or experience as opposed to having to look through the single, massive category. Since a lot of work was previously done with all of the software templates (ie. {{portal2}}, {{css}}, etc.), perhaps the best way to do this is for {{Stub}} to call these other templates such that {{Stub|portal2}} would result in Category:Portal 2 Stubs. I don't know enough about the inner workings of templates to know what is and isn't possible, but being able to do it this way would probably be a lot better than having to manually create a stub template for everything that was needed. This would cover software-related stubs, but others that might be useful are the categories listed on the SDK pages (Modding, Level Design, etc.). If a single parameter was created and I could reverse engineer it, I could help out with adding additional ones.
