Usage

{{Stub category
|article=
|newstub=
|category=
|category type=
|WikiProject=
}}

For example:

{{Stub category
|article=people in Japanese [[football (soccer)]], including football players, managers, coaches, etc.
|newstub=Japan-footy-bio-stub
|category=Japanese footballers
}}

will show:

This category is for stub articles relating to people in Japanese football (soccer), including football players, managers, coaches, etc.. You can help by expanding them.
To add an article to this category, use {{Japan-footy-bio-stub}} instead of {{stub}}.

The |category type= parameter inserts additional text between the phrases "This category is for" and "stub articles relating to ...", so using |category type=biographical will give "This category is for biographical stub articles relating to ...".

There is also an optional parameter |WikiProject= which links to a relevant WikiProject page. For example:

{{Stub category
|article=the [[Commonwealth of Massachusetts]]
|newstub=Massachusetts-stub
|category=Massachusetts
|category type=biographical
|WikiProject=Massachusetts
}}

will show:

This category is for biographical stub articles relating to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. You can help by expanding them. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Massachusetts.
To add an article to this category, use {{Massachusetts-stub}} instead of {{stub}}.
