reverted edit

I reverted this, as it broke a couple of templates. What were you trying to do? Possibly (talk) 22:10, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Wikipedia. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox.

You are moving too fast on these, doing several per minute and leaving several mistakes. Possibly (talk) 22:13, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Farmacina Ltd, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted.

Again, stop removing templates until you understand how to do it. this, for example, is still an orphan. Possibly (talk) 22:40, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to. Wikiacc (¶) 01:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Quickly removing templates

Just to be clear, we don't remove templates unless the problem has been solved. So if an article has an "orphan template",then it can be removed if another article links to it. If an article has the "underlinked template", then verify that it is actually underlinked, and if it is, try to link more terms in the article. Thanks Possibly (talk) 22:48, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi !matt5454!matt, after being warned by Possibly, you did the same thing again at Japan–Taiwan relations. Please take these warnings seriously. Wikiacc (¶) 01:11, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Although I agree the mass removal of maintenance templates without reasoning is problematic, in some cases it was warranted to remove the template like in Legal drinking age controversy in the United States. Did anyone actually check to see if the template was warranted anymore instead of mass reverting all his edits? JayJay^{What did I do?} 02:12, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

@JayJay: I did not check every case before reverting. In the ones I checked the template was still warranted, but there may be exceptions. Wikiacc (¶) 02:17, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Wikiacc I can show you plenty of 'exceptions' that do not warrant an underlinked tag. Rogermx (talk) 20:07, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

User:Possibly, User:Wikiacc, User:JayJay, my problem here is the complete lack of communication and of edit summaries. I think I found one single talk page edit, and nothing here on this talk page, except for them blanking it. I think I saw maybe one single edit summary in their 1600+ edits. That kind of thing is already a consideration for a block on a collaborative project. Drmies (talk) 02:20, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

• Wikiacc has been reverting huge numbers of articles for the removal of underlinked tag, many of them stubs. I have left a message on his talk page asking for an explanation. Rogermx (talk) 20:04, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
