A lemma article is an article created for a subject where there is a presumption that it is unlikely that a significant amount will be written about that subject in the near future, and thus the article consists simply of a definition
which is transcluded on the main page.
Because of this special purpose a definition for a lemma article may be longer than the else recommended length of about 100 characters.
How to create a lemma article
- Create a definition subpage with a definition of the subject.
- Create the main page with only the {{subpages}} template on it.
- That is all. Simple, isn't it?
How to turn a lemma article into a full article
- Add content to the main article page.
- Create the metadata template.
- Create the talk page.
- Simplify (shorten) the definition if this is appropriate.
Good uses of the lemma article system
