Forum:Templates for deletion and other basic tasks

I would like to request the implementation of more templates or tags that would allow contributors to specify articles or sections for editing/review or deletion, or for table organization (such as with game statistics and data), for a more unified and efficient display throughout the wiki.

I understand that this may be a lot of effort on the administrators' part, but I think tags like these are necessary for our wiki, at least to make things more visible to determine which pages require deletion or editing. I would import templates like these from existing wiki sources such as Wikipedia, but it seems that most of their templates are nested within other templates, and the only way to introduce Wikipedia-based templates here would be to import everything from their template tree and categories. I am unaware of any other sources of premade templates for use on MediaWiki software, and it is disheartening to see that Wikia does not have these template packages preestablished upon wiki creation. But since many wiki communities exist and run upon the same MediaWiki platform, I would assume that there are some template packs that can be found freely distributed.

Hopefully there is a solution to obtaining a full collection of templates and tags necessary for our wiki. The only other alternative is to recreate them from scratch (or copy-pasting from Wikipedia directly, which may lead to other errors in linking between the nested templates), and this is one situation I hope to avoid.
