Description:
It would be nice if users could see what a "stub link" looked like when setting
a stub threshold in their preferences. The "stubthreshold" message, used as a
label for the relevant option, is being treated as plain text.

Either we'll need to enable HTML for that message (which reignites a dangerous
precedent), or we'll want to provide some nifty workaround.

Adding a class for the example is not only ugly, it's fragile -- customizations to the actual threshold will have no effect on the sample.
The sensible thing is to construct an actual bit of sample text using the actual classes -- a null link (<a href="#">) with appropriate class would show the effect nicely and be robust to customizations.
