: I'm thinking [[Template:Incorrect|<nowiki>{{incorrect}}</nowiki>]], along with most (all?) of the other example-targeted maintenance templates, should be deprecated, in favor of a single ENA template that takes two parameters, the first argument a short-reason (one or two words), and the second one a sentence or two suggesting a possible resolution. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 02:21, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
::I think that it is worth ''formally'' distinguishing <nowiki>{{incorrect}}</nowiki>"does not meet task requirements", <nowiki>{{needs-review}}</nowiki> "might be incorrect, I as task editor can't tell", "is sloppy/hard to read/unenlightening", and <nowiki>{{improve}}</nowiki>"could be extended to add interesting features". Some advantages of having templates for these are:
::* You need not invent the phrasing of the notice yourself; it falls into a standard category which people know what to do with/what it means. In particular, personally writing "This is incorrect" is more likely to cause offense if it's slightly misphrased.
::* We can (but don't currently) programmatically distinguish the bad cases (incorrect) vs the improvement cases (improve, novice example, ENA in general).
::* The more serious cases are visually distinguished by different colors for the infoboxes.
