Are you asking "how does one mark a EuWiki articles as a 'stub'?"
If so, the way to mark an article as being a 'stub' is to add the line ...
{{stub}}
anywhere in the article. The convention is to add it to the top of the article.
in EuWiki, entries in the form
{{NAME}}
are instances of templates. These represent blocks of text that are inserted in
to the article. The actual text of a template can be found in articles named ...
Template:NAME
thus if you look at the article Template:stub you can see the 'stub' text
inserted into any article using {{stub}}.

Hi again,
Well actually all i wanted to do is to add my library to the
collection of user contributions on that page that shows
libraries in alpha order under A, B, C, etc.
Thus, it should appear something like this:
M
MyLibrary
N
NobodiesLibrary
Make sense?

Yes, but what has that got to do with stubs is a mystery 
Anyhow, add the line ...
[[Category:User contributions]]
to your page and it magically appears sorted into the category page.

Hello again,
Ok so how do i create a new page that appears under
User contributions and has a title called "MyLibrary"
for example?
Typing the above into a page made the user contrib
"User contributions" and not the name of my lib.
When i edited it, it went away for some reason.
Here's what i need to do:
Create a page or whatever that shows up under
user contributions when someone navagates to
User contributions.
Question is, where to start from?
Imagine i just navagated to the "Main Page"
and am now thinking of adding a new article to
the User contributions so that it shows up with
the rest of them.
Take care,
Al

Hi again Derek,
Ok, i think i see how it is done now.
It looks like the line(s) with the [[cat]] has to appear
last in the edit window.
Now if i could remember what i did to get it to work :)
Have to go back and clean up all my tests now ha ha.
Feel free to write a step-by-step procedure for doing this,
assume the user starts from the Main Page.
If anyone can edit these pages what is to stop them from
deleting your nicely typed (and time consuming) article?
Take care,
Al

On the left margin of the maing page there is a help link:
http://euwiki.ayo.biz/Help:Contents
The help page links to the wikimedia editing page, which is very
thorough:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing
This is a very helpful page, and should maybe be a little more
prominently featured as TFM for editing the wiki. We can hope that
people will try clicking the help link, and read what's there, but
that may be asking too much.

I believe that only the administrator can delete a page. Anyone
can edit (haven't you been paying attention to Juergen's thread?)
a page. You can also view histories, and restore content, if
appropriate. This is a common issue with wikis. People can get
into an editing war (not to mention vandalism). There are other
policies that the admin can enforce with respect to locking pages,
allowing or disallowing certain people to edit (i.e., must be logged
in, etc).

I thought I said it already in easy enough steps but here it is in point form
... assuming you want to create a page called 'MyLibrary' and have that sorted
into the User Contributions category ...
* Go to the main page.
* In the browser's address field you should see
"http://euwiki.ayo.biz/Main_Page"
* Replace this with "http://euwiki.ayo.biz/MyLibrary"
* Click on the 'edit' tab to begin editing the newly created page.
* Place anything you like in the page.
* Place the line ...
[[Category:User contributions]]
anywhere at all in the page. It doesn't have to be at the bottom.
* Click on the "Show Preview" button to see what your page will look like.
* Repeat editing and showing preview until happy with it.
* Click the "Save Page" button.
That will stored you page into the wiki and automatically add an entry into the
User contributions category.

Hello again Derek,
Ok it is working now. The problem was i didnt know at first that
you had to type a new name into the browser. I was looking for a button
or link to start a new page. That's kinda strange if you ask me.
Also, i made the mistake of typing the wrong thing inside the
brackets [[x]] so that didnt work at first either...now it's ok.
Thanks again.
Take care,
Al

1 To ccreate a new page, just type its address in your browser's address bar
and go to that place. For example http://euwiki.ayo.biz/MyLibrary
If the page doesn't exist, you'll see the following text:
"MyLibrary
There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title
in other pages or edit this page."
The search and edit actions are links. Click the edit link to edit the page.
You can do this from anywhere, including about.blank .
2 Write whatever you feel useful in the edit box that just opened
3 At the end of that text, add the following
[[Category:User_contributions]]
or whatever the category name is, with any space replaced by underscores.
The category name is case sensitive.
4 While editing, it is often a good idea to hit the "Show preview" button. A
preview of the page will appear above the edit box.
5 If you leave the page while the edit box is open, any change since the
last save is lost. If nothing was saved, everything is lost
6 To save a page, hit the "Save page" button. This will close the edit box,
save the page and display it.
7 Remember that, to modify some section of a page, you can use the "edit"
links which appear, right aligned, with the section headings.
8 The toolbox that appears above the edit box doesn't show all available
formatting commands. You must read the editing help to learn more.

I don't have a problem with my name on the RDS website,
