Maintenance templates
When to remove[edit]
[edit]Maintenance templates are not meant to be in articles permanently. Any user without a conflict of interest may remove a maintenance template in any of the following circumstances:
- When the issue has been adequately addressed;
- Upon determining that the issue has been resolved (perhaps by someone else);
- If it reasonably appears that the template did not belong when placed or was added in error. Consider first discussing the matter with the original placer of the template (unless this user is no longer active on Wikipedia). In any case, if the issue appears contentious, seek consensus on the talk page;
- When an article talkpage discussion has not been initiated (for templates requesting it);
- When there is consensus on the talk page (or elsewhere) as to how to address the flagged issue, and you are reasonably implementing those changes. (It is good practice to note the location of the consensus in the edit summary accompanying your removal, ideally with a link to the location);
- When it can reasonably be concluded that the template is no longer relevant, such as a
{{Current}}template appearing in an article that no longer documents a current event; - If the maintenance template is of a type that requires support but is not fully supported. For example: Neutrality-related templates such as
{{COI}}(associated with the conflict of interest guideline) or{{POV}}(associated with the neutral point of view policy) strongly recommend that the tagging editor initiate a discussion (generally on the article's talk page) to support the placement of the tag. If the tagging editor failed to do so, or the discussion is dormant, and there is no other support for the template, it can be removed; - You may remove a template when according to your best judgement the lack of edits and/or talk page discussion should be interpreted as the issue not worth fixing (as a form of "silent consensus"). Please note there is currently no consensus for general age-related removal of maintenance templates - that is, removing a template purely or chiefly because it is old is not considered a sufficient argument. Exception: removing POV-related templates whose discussions have gone dormant is encouraged, as addressed in the bullet point immediately above;
- Lastly, there are times when a person attempting to address a maintenance template that flags some fundamental matter may find that the issue cannot actually be addressed. For example, if an article is flagged as lacking citations to reliable, secondary sources, written by third-parties to the topic, and a user seeing the maintenance templates discovers that such sources appear not to exist, that usually means the article should be deleted. In such cases, it is not so much that the template does not belong and should be removed, but rather that flagging the page for maintenance will never address the more critical issue that the page itself does not belong on Wikipedia at all.
When not to remove[edit]
[edit]You should not remove maintenance templates if any of the following apply:
- You do not understand the issues raised by the template;
- The issue has not yet been resolved;
- There is ongoing activity or discussion related to the template issue;
- The problem that the maintenance template flags is plainly and unambiguously required for a proper article under Wikipedia's policies and guidelines;
- You have been paid to edit the article or have some other conflict of interest [exceptions apply: see individual template documentation].

| Hesham Abdul Wahab | Talk:Hesham Abdul Wahab | Oct. 2021 | Flag was added by anonymous editor but doesnt seem to be warranted? On second review, almost the entire page (86%) was written by two editors (Srijit777 and Crazyjibin) Page statistics | 1 |

| Paul W. Draper | Talk:Paul W. Draper | Nov. 2021 | Nothing on identified on the talk page, but the article clearly needs to be changed. Probably a good one to work on putting together a completely revised version. Reviewing and revising the whole article should address the flag even without identifying any users. User:WyldEys/Paul Draper edits. This article needs more work, a lot of the references are junk. | 4 - Currently working here |

| Black Cube | Talk:Black Cube | Oct. 2021 | Editor was identified on the talk page. I reviewed the edits and provided suggestions. Article looks a little controversial, so I don't have much interest to keep pushing here. | 5 - Waiting for response to review, implement changes, and remove flag. |
| Curiosity Stream | Talk:Curiosity Stream | Nov. 2021 | Editors were identified on the talk page. I started a request for comment but it was cancelled (wrong avenue). I received input from someone else with additional suggestions. I drafted changes here and posted to talk page. | 5 - Waiting for response to review and implement my changes. |
| Sofinnova | Talk:Sofinnova | Oct. 2021 | No explanation was provided, but was obvious. Easy to remove paid edits but advertisement flag should stay until it's cleaned up more. Got a response: I put together edits in another sandbox & replied on talk page. (sandbox link: User:WyldEys/Sofinnova edits) | 5 - Waiting for response to review and implement my changes. |
| The H Collective | Talk:The H Collective | Oct. 2021 | This one didn't have any explanation, and appeared to be a false accusation. Posted on the talk page to ask the user for clarification. Received response from another editor and it was removed. | *Flag was removed |
