Welcome to the Unused Templates Task Force of Wikipedia:WikiProject Templates. This task force is here to deal with the multi-thousand-page backlog of unused templates on Wikipedia. All are welcome to join and participate. Please read the Considerations section below to further understand how this task force operates.
Unused template pages can be a maintenance burden. When the MediaWiki software changes, or policies or guidelines change, or templates or modules are renamed or merged, editors often need to make maintenance edits to many pages, including template-space pages, in order to keep the pages from breaking, or to bring them into compliance with the changes. Maintaining pages that are not used in any way is an unnecessary maintenance burden for those editors.
