Maintenance Boxes

Maintenance boxes are utilized by major wikis like Wikipedia to inform other users of the need to revise an article. Any registered user can include such a box on top of any wiki article which thereafter is visible for all readers. Another user might then start a discussion on the article's quality or - in case of minor aspects - simply eradicate its flaws. This is one way to identify articles needing attention and to thereby ensure content quality on energypedia.

What types of maintenance boxes are available?

Currently, users can choose from five different maintenance boxes:

Revision	Broadest box indicating that an article needs an overall cleanup or aspects specified by users have to be addressed.
Copyright	Expresses suspicion of copyright violations by an article or uploaded file.
Plagiarism	Expresses suspicion of plagiarism in an article due to a lack of propper references.
Contradiction	Suggests that two or more articles contradict each other.
Redundancy	Indicates that two or more articles are covering the same topic and are hence redundant.

How to erase a maintenance box from a page?

It is fairly easy to remove a maintenance box from a page, however you should only do so if the quality shortcomings have all been discussed and corrected! A box can be removed by deleting its code from the page's Wikitext (for example, {{Revision}}). After the deletion, the article will disappear from the "Articles needing attention" lists after a few minutes.
