Some tags have alternate versions that apply to situations of greater specificity.

Stubs
See Wikipedia: Stub
Unlike cleanup tags, stub tags should be added at the bottom of the article.
It is possible to use {{stub}}, but if you have time to find the correct topical stub tag instead, please do so.
Topical stub tags are listed on Wikipedia:Template messages/Stubs and shown in the stub categories.
