Title: Template:Germany-painter-17thC-stub

A specialized stub template, {{Germany-painter-17thC-stub}}, exists on Wikipedia‍ to categorize articles about‍ German ​painters‌ from the 17th century that ⁣lack substantial growth. These‌ “stub” templates signal to editors that an ⁢article is incomplete and requires expansion. According to‌ Wikipedia guidelines, multiple⁣ stub templates can be applied ​when appropriate-though limited to a maximum of four per article-and should be placed at the article’s end, following external links, navigation templates, ⁢and category tags.The use of stub templates is coordinated ​through Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting, and the creation of new templates requires prior⁣ proposal and approval at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals to‌ maintain consistency and ⁢avoid redundancy across the encyclopedia. This ensures proper categorization and encourages collaborative‌ enhancement of ‍underdeveloped articles ⁤within this specific subject area.
