While this discussion is
worth having, I wish to record a view, now long
held, by means of a metaphor. Wikipedia is an omelette, not scrambled
eggs. Because of the intrinsic use of of hypertext, taking WP to be (in
the large) a collection of articles is always a distortion. If the "few
people" who go to a stub are just those who would refer to a
corresponding footnote in a book, the system as a whole is functioning
as it should.
