[edit] Templates I use often

[edit] Serious article issues

• {{db-copyvio|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Db-copyvio}}

Consider adding {{subst:nothanks-sd|pg=page name|url=url of source}} -- ~~~~ to the contributor's User:Talk page. Do not blank the article page.

• {{copyvio|url=http://example.org}} -- rember to blank the article page (use when there are questions about the copyvio status
• {{subst:prod|reason}} -- deletion without major discussion

[edit] Article cleanup issues

• {{orphan|{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} -- not enough pages linking here
• {{Wikify|{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} -- needs wikifying
• {{Uncategorized|{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} -- needs categories
• {{Uncategorizedstub|{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} -- a stub that needs categories
• {{unreferenced|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} -- article does not cite sources
• {{primarysources|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} -- article does not cite sources or references that appear in a credible, third-party publication
• {{Moresources|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} -- article or section needs more sources
• {{Importance|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} -- importance of subject not established
• {{subst:Cleanup-now}} -- article needs clean up
• {{cleanup-school}} -- clean up school article
• {{POV-check}} -- need to check neutrality of POV
• {{citation needed}} -- needs to cite a source to back up this fact
• {{globalize}} -- needs a world view
• {{advert}} -- article reads like an ad
• {{likeresume}} -- reads like a resume
• {{Expand}} -- article needs to be expanded
• {{merge|other item}} -- merge this page with other item
• {{COI|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} -- main contributor has a conflict of interest

The full treatment: {{Wikify|{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} {{Uncategorizedstub|{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} {{orphan|{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} {{unreferenced|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} {{Importance|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}} {{subst:Cleanup-now}}

[edit] Section cleanup issues

• {{sections}} -- article needs sections
• {{POV-section}} -- this section needs work on POV

• {{DEFAULTSORT:Last, First}} -- sets sorting for categories in article
