[edit] Stubs
Instead of using the standard {{stub}} template, you may want to use one of the following more specific automobile stub tags, some of which are:

- {{motorvehicle-company-stub}} - for stub articles about automotive companies
- {{auto-factory-stub}} - for stub articles about automotive factories
- {{automotive-part-stub}} - for stub articles about automotive parts or components
- {{automotive-tech-stub}} - for stub articles about automotive technologies
