These tags indicate that the article has a major problem that needs to be addressed and therefore, cannot fulfill the requirements to be featured. When opposing featured article nominations or supporting unfeature nominations due to the tag, be aware that these tags can be added up post-nomination after flaws of the article have been found: it is more advisable to cite the reason the improvement tag was put up rather than stating its existence, as that already repeats the role it is intended to do. If the article does not have the problems the tag has stated, feel free to remove the tag after editing accordingly. [[MarioWiki:Maintenance|Our maintenance page]] has a list of improvement tags for articles, as well as our [[:Category:Notice templates|notice template category]]. | These tags indicate that the article has a major problem that needs to be addressed and therefore, cannot fulfill the requirements to be featured.
