While this discussion is worth having, I wish to record a view, now long held, by means of a metaphor. Wikipedia is an omelette, not scrambled eggs. Because of the intrinsic use of of hypertext, taking WP to be (in the large) a collection of articles is always a distortion. If the "few people" who go to a stub are just those who would refer to a corresponding footnote in a book, the system as a whole is functioning as it should.
