Abstract
We construct a well-behaved compactification of the space of finite covers of a stacky curve using admissible cover degenerations. Using our construction, we compactify the space of tetragonal curves on Hirzebruch surfaces. As an application, we explicitly describe the boundary divisors of the closure inM6 of the locus of smooth plane quintic curves.
