Stub message
Grutness, I've reverted your edit as a formalistic one. Practically, the stub-templated article is a page needing expansion. The category needing more filling is just freaking the same. And the most important: otherwise, how am I supposed to notify other Wikifellows that the category needs new articles? Stubbing it is definitely the ultimate way.
As for Wikirules, let's find the special way for "stubbing" categories related to other categories. Looking forward to participate in such process. Best wishes,

Articles can be stubs, categories cannot. Categories are directly stated as not needing the stub templates at
Wikipedia: WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria - they have a separate template: {{popcat}} (which I've added to the category).
The main reasons for this are that:
when an article is extended, it is clear to the editor how much has been added and whether the stub message can be removed. This is not true with a category, as it is not the category that is edited, but articles which are categorised.
a category with no articles in it is as complete in itself as a category with 1000 articles in it - what is incomplete is the articles which should be categorised. They are the stubs.
{{popcat}} advertises that a category is empty. Other than that, you could remind people in the necessary WikiProjects about its existence.
Ah, now I see my mistake. Thank you for kind consulting, Grutness. You know, I avoid long browsing around Wikipedia rules and community pages because of ISP connection shortages. Fully agree with your suggestion on submarine category: any submarine is a relatively modern subject :) Best wishes,
