Template messages to inform readers and editors of specific problems with articles or sections; '''not''' to be used as a badge of shame.

These template messages may be added to articles needing a [[WP:Cleanup|cleanup]]. Their purposes are to foster improvement of the encyclopedia by alerting editors to changes that need to be made.  Cleanup tags are meant to be temporary notices that lead to an effort to fix the problem, not a permanent [[badge of shame]] to show disagreement with the article, or a method of [[Wikipedia:No disclaimers in articles|warning the readers]] against the article.

'''Example:''' {{tl|multiple issues}} {{multiple issues}}
'''Example:''' {{tlp|cleanup|2=reason=Example}} {{cleanup|reason=Example}}
'''Example:''' {{tl|CIA}} {{CIA}}
'''Example:''' {{tl|fiction}} {{fiction}}

Dispute templates are used to alert other editors that work is needed on a certain article, and auto-categorize pages so that patrolling editors can aid their talent to the problem.

They should normally not be used without a clear description from the applying editor of the rationale, preferably presented in a numbered list form on the article's talk page, in a section which includes the name of the template that was applied. As these items are dealt with, it is suggested each line be struck through. Some guidance should be given by the posting editor as to what action will resolve the matter when using section and article (page) tagging templates.

It is sometimes considered helpful to put redirects into [[Wikipedia:Categorization|categories]] where appropriate, see [[Wikipedia:Categorizing redirects]].  For pages which should ultimately be handled by a full article, add both {{tlx|R with possibilities}} and one or more [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types|stub sorting templates]] to draw attention to the needed article.

Redirect templates are designed to be used together. For example, the redirect "{{No redirect|Architechts}}" uses both {{tlx|R from misspelling}} and {{tlx|R from plural}}. {{tl|This is a redirect}} can be used to add up to seven templates to a single page by listing the appropriate redirect templates as parameters.

===[[Wikipedia:Hatnote]]===

''Hatnotes'' are short notes placed at the top of an article or section of an article (hence the name "[[hat]]"). Hatnotes help readers locate a different article they might be seeking. Readers may have arrived at the article containing the hatnote because they were [[WP:redirect|redirected]], because the sought article uses a more specific, [[WP:DAB|disambiguated]] title, or because the sought article and the article with the hatnote have similar names. Hatnotes provide [[WP:Internal link|links]] to the possibly sought article or to a [[WP:disambiguation page|disambiguation page]].

===[[Wikipedia:Navigation templates|Navigation templates]]===
|
A ''navigation template'' is a grouping of links used in multiple related articles to facilitate navigation between those articles. Editing of a navigation template is done in a central place, the template page. There are two main varieties of navigation template: ''navigation boxes'' (or ''navboxes''), designed to sit at the very bottom of articles, and ''sidebars'', designed to sit at the side of the article text. The two are complementary and either or both may be appropriate in different situations.
