Dunno. I suppose if it's a really good sentence, but I guess a frame would have to be implicit. Generally best to set the scene, but in generality
there must be some good ones.......

I honestly have no clue. My only guess would be that
a bunch of unfinished articles started to appear all
over. The only thing to do was give them a name.
Stub sounds like a good word for it.
Kinda like a Snigglet.
Probably no purpose intended but it does reflect
or express ones laziness or forgetfulness.

"Stub" is a programming term. When you design a sophisticated piece of software, it is useful that stubs for all of the functions or methods that will need to be written are automatically generated. For example:
public function doSomething (param1, param2) {
}
public function doSomethingElse (param1, param2) {
}
... would be stubs for two functions, doSomething and doSomethingElse, which have not yet been written. The actual code goes between the curly braces. As a programmer, I don't have to worry whether I have included all of the necessary functions or whether and which parameters they require, since the stubs provide that information.

A stub is just a small article, if a page is wanted then you can make a short paragraph
explaining the basics so who ever requested it can find the basic information. Or if your too lazy to finsh off the article and just do a lil, that's
a stub - and we've all done it

I understand the "small article" aspect. But, the day I wrote the OP, someone created an article with one, short sentence.
I needed to vent then, because I just couldn't see the point.
