 ====A. Available tags:====
-Articles which are substantially non-compliant with Wiki rules can be marked with the tags described below. The purposes of such flags are twofold: to warn the reader of a potentially low-quality article, and to bring such articles to the attention of admins and other editors, who may improve or remove the article. They can be used by writing <code><nowiki>{{TagName}}</nowiki></code> at the top of an article. It is recommended to include a new line after the tag is added in order to make sure any future additions by users via the visual editor do not fall in the same line and causing problems with saving changes (as only wiki moderators can remove or add notices). Adding tags via the visual editor is possible using the insert dialog but is not recommended as it can cause formatting or placement issues.

-*[[Template:StubNotice|StubNotice]] (for an article which is simply underdeveloped: the content currently within it does not justify its existence, but there is nothing wrong in concept with such an article existing)
+*[[Template:StubNotice|StubNotice]] <br/>Use for an article which is simply underdeveloped: the content currently within it does not justify its existence, but there is nothing wrong in concept with such an article existing in the wiki.
-*[[Template:Incomplete|Incomplete]] (for an article that has the potential to be high-quality, but is dangerously under-cited, or the citations are to dubious sources. This should only lead to deletion if it's in violation of the No Original Reaearch policy, or if no good sources exist with which to fix it)

-*[[Template:Irrelevant|Irrelevant]] (for an article that is on the edge of not being relevant, and an editor feels falls foul of the inclusion criteria above. Basically a limbo to put articles in where their merits can be discussed before a descision is made on their deletion)

+*[[Template:SloppyAI|SloppyAI]]<br/>Use for an article where AI is heavily used without enough care and/or supervision to guarantee the credibility or readability or the article.
-Optionally when using the Incomplete tag, up to four specific issues with the article can be pointed out by including <code><nowiki>Issue 1/2/3/4</nowiki></code> parameters these appear in a numbered list in the notice (see [[Template:Incomplete|Incomplete]] for example usage).
+Optionally when using the <code>Incomplete</code> tag, up to four specific issues with the article can be pointed out by including <code><nowiki>Issue 1/2/3/4</nowiki></code> parameters these appear in a numbered list in the notice (see [[Template:Incomplete|Incomplete]] for example usage).
 It is also worth noting that articles created via the [[Consumer Action Taskforce:Create page| Create page]] dialog that include placeholder boxes will also be added to the [[:Category:Articles in need of additional work|Articles in need of work]] category.
 ====B. 'In need of work' Category:====
 The [[: Category:Articles_in_need_of_additional_work|articles in need of work]] category contains articles which require editor attention. Articles with an notice, or articles with leftover placeholder template elements from the article creation workflow, will be automatically placed in this category. Articles should be removed from this category when they are, broadly, in an acceptable state.
