The following describes some benefits and techniques for monitoring, or tracking, various issues (or problems) noted about related articles, template features, report pages, etc. An issues-tracking system could be used to help prioritize major issues, to reconsider them at regular intervals when there is more time to resolve them.
A simple list of major issues noted for each template, or report page, could work to re-focus efforts to improve them. So although it would be great to have an issues-tracking system, even if there had been a written list of the major issues, expanded for each template set or report page, then that could have helped remind people to keep reassessing the unresolved problems from years ago.
