Maintenance templates
For all these, add the current date with July 2024. For many, you can and should explain why you're adding it using reason.

Maintenance templates

 * – no references; unreferenced section for a section
 * refimprove – some references, needs more; refimprove section for a section
 * no footnotes – some references, none inline;  for a section
 * more footnotes – some references, not enough inline;  for a section
 * citations broken – deadlinks;  for a section
 * update - out of date;  for a section
 * orphan – no incoming links from articles
 * dead end – no outgoing wikilinks
 * underlinked – few outgoing wikilinks
 * long plot – long plot section
 * mergeto and mergefrom – propose merge (much easier to use Twinkle - it's under "Tag")
 * Category:Expand by language Wikipedia templates – other language's article is better

User-space templates
(Easiest to use Twinkle for most of these)

Warning

Templates
With the exception of later, all of the templates below with bold wording attached allow a customised message as the second parameter. For some reason, warnsign and partly done capitalise the first letter of your message. The others don't. You can't set specify text, though; it will become an apostrophe (except for idea, which always adds a colon after whatever text you write).
