Part of the problem from my perspective is figuring out what to do in some of these tasks. I typically do this "janitorial" work in bursts---I'll do a bunch of recent-changes patrolling for three weeks, because I'm in the mood for it, or clear out copyright violations for a day, then I won't do anything for two months. When I come back to one of these tasks after an absence, it takes concerted effort to navigate the web of rules and templates and informal policies. Even simple stuff like, "so what's the current policy on warning/blocking vandals, and which of the 100+ user warning templates should I use?".
It would seem that such a multiplicity of warning templates alone would turn people off the task. Are they all regularly used? Could some be combined?
