Humorous Wikipedia essay
Template madness refers to a phenomenon whereby the use of templates on a page becomes excessive and thus counterproductive to the page’s usefulness.[citation needed]
On the other hand, more moderate and appropriate use of attention boxes alerts unwary readers about potentially bad information and may help the underlying problems get resolved faster.[not in body]
Overview
Template madness may occur when so many templates are used on a page or pages that they end up negatively affecting their usefulness.[examples needed]
