Several maintenance template flags are ready for use in the Wiki. There are three things to be aware of for each maintenance template flag:

1. Monitor the usage of each flag by viewing the category page for each template. Click here to review the categorized maintenance reports.
2. Use the Talk page for ongoing discussion about the use of the flag.
3. Documentation for each template is on every Template and Category page.
