When editing Wikipedia regularly, it's often nice to have a references to some commonly used maintenance templates, user warnings, and other highly used templates. Everything is presented in one long page to make it easier to be found via your browser's find feature which can typically be accessed via the Ctrl+F shortcut key. Below is a summary by me, hopefully others might find it helpful. Being a Wikipedia page, you are free to make constructive edits.

Maintenance templates

Maintenance templates are templates that are added to articles, talk pages, and various other pages in order to notify readers of potential problems. Remember that it's ALWAYS better to fix issues wherever possible instead of slapping some template for others to come across. Also remember to use the most specific template possible and don't tab bomb the page.

Tag consolidation

Too many tags at the top of the article take up a substantial amount of space. When that happens you should consider wrapping it in the {{multiple issues}} template.

Syntax Example
{{multiple issues|{{Issue 1}}{{Issue 2}}{{Issue 3}}...}}}}
