Module:Article stub box

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:Article stub box/doc

--[[
This module was created by User:CodeHydro (Alexander Zhikun He).
User:Jackmcbarn and User:Mr._Stradivarius provided a great deal of assistance in writting p.main()

p.main() draw heavily from the following version of Template:Asbox of the English Wikipedia, authored primarily by User:Rich_Farmbrough
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Asbox&oldid=619510287

p.templatepage() is derived from the following revision of Template:Asbox/templatepage, authored primarily by User:MSGJ
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Asbox/templatepage&oldid=632914791

Both templates had significant contributions from numerous others listed in the revision history tab of their respective pages.
