Wikipedia FR uses "ébauche" for stub and "Modèle" for template:
Let's keep "ébauche" then.
And "infobox" seems to be a universal term in Wikipedia:
Well, in plain French, it would rather read "boîte d'information". In current French: "Boîte d'info". Most people would understand "Infobox" though. Should we stick to the choices made by Wikipedia, although they're not always "correct" (in the sense they sometimes merely copy/paste the existing English word, counting on the fact the average francophone know enough of English to complete the scheme eg.
"infobox", thus expanding "Franglish") or compete and try to forge something
both plain French and adequate? There have been already a few successful attempts in the latter way: courriel, ordinateur, redingote...++ O.
Ultimately, which words are chosen are up to those who want to
contribute to that language site. Using wikipedia terms has a big
advantage since there will be a whole community with documentation,
policy, etc. that can be directly applied.
