How long does an article have to be?


SK Wiki, the free online encyclopedia of all that is trending, is a collaborative platform where anyone can contribute by creating or editing articles. However, there are certain guidelines that all contributors must follow to ensure that the information provided is accurate, reliable, and written from a neutral point of view. One of these guidelines is the length of an article.


According to the SK Wiki Community Guidelines, there is no set minimum or maximum length for an article. However, articles should be long enough to provide enough information to be informative and should be written in a comprehensive manner. The length of an article should be determined by the amount of information available on the subject and the level of detail required to provide a clear and complete overview of the topic.


Articles that are too short may be considered stubs and may be marked for expansion. A stub is defined as an article that needs to provide more comprehensive coverage of a subject and may be marked for expansion. This means that other editors are encouraged to add more information to the article.


On the other hand, articles that are too long may be considered too detailed and marked for summarization. This means that the article should be condensed to provide only the most essential information and remove any unnecessary details.


In summary, the length of an article should be determined by the amount of information available on the subject and the level of detail required to provide a clear and complete overview of the topic. Articles that are too short or too long may be marked for expansion or summarization, respectively. By following these guidelines, SK Wiki contributors can ensure that the information provided is accurate, reliable, and written from a neutral point of view.
