It seems rather pointless to me to label 20k pages needing citation. But
that's probably not a technical question.
Totally agree on that one. There are some useful ones though, like
"pages needing categorisation", "pages needing LaTeX formatting" etc.
Any task that can be performed by a non-subject specialist, in
particular.
If I do a random walk on en Wikipedia, almost every page seems to have
some tag needing something ("This page is in need of <insert your pet
peeve here>"). This reminds me of all these "under construction" pages
in the earlier days of the web.
Yeah. I can't stand {{cleanup}} - what's the point? But I occasionally
use {{wfy}} or {{globalize-USA}} or whatever, the latter mostly to let
off steam :)
