Using too many individual article message boxes can distract from the article and make it very ugly to look at. This template tags articles or sections for multiple maintenance issues and then displays the alerts in a single box, as an alternative to using several space-consuming boxes.
Usage
The syntax for the template is:
{{Article issues| {{Issue 1}} {{Issue 2}} {{Issue 3}} ... }}
where Issue 1, Issue 2, Issue 3, etc. are article maintenance templates (see Wikipedia:Template messages), which take their usual parameters.
A |section=yes
parameter can be used to modify the template to be used below a section header.
Example for an article
{{Article issues| {{Orphan|date=January 2008}} {{POV|date=June 2009}} {{One source|date=March 2011}} {{Notability|Corp|date=June 2012}} }}
produces
![]() | This article has many issues. Please help fix them or discuss these issues on the article's talk page.

Example for a section
{{Article issues|section=yes| {{Unreferenced section|date=January 2012}} {{Disputed|section|date=April 2012}} {{Expand section|1=examples and additional citations|demospace=main|date=June 2012}} }}
produces
![]() | This section has many issues. Please help fix them or discuss these issues on the article's talk page.

General notes
- Redundant issues: Please do not insert tags that are too similar to or redundant with each other. All articles that read like essays have an inappropriate tone, and in fact they end up in the same category, so it is unnecessary to add {{tone}} in addition to {{essay-like}}. {{Cleanup}} is very vague and so should be replaced with a more specific template.
- Too many issues: Similarly, if an article has many problems, please consider listing only the most important. A lengthy list is often less helpful than a shorter one.
- Only one issue: Don't use this template for a single issue; just use the stand-alone template. See Category:Cleanup templates for a list of available tags.
