Delete. It's better that we limit the amount of user warning templates we have. The reason being is that these templates usually go through some kind of scrutiny regarding the text. If a header feature is wanted, then that should be brought on at the talk page to see how that can be made possible. I'll note though, that if no other user warning uses a header, then maybe there is a reason behind that. Gonnym ( talk) 19:12, 25 November 2021 (UTC) reply
Delete - I would recommend the use of Twinkle as I think that automatically creates headings for you, so this template is unnecessary. User:GKFX talk 19:29, 26 November 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: I made them during some of my earliest days here. Some parts of these templates are currently unusable and might need some work before they can be put in template-space and used in WP. It's unlikely that I would be able to work on it anytime soon though. Hence, I request that they be moved to my sandbox to work on later.

Used on a single article and many miscellaneous userspace test pages. If for some reason a section or article has some words that aren't clear or are awkwardly-placed, a user can simply change the word/sentence or add copy edit, cleanup, or rewrite tags at the top of the section or article, but this seems to be a rare case because only one article uses this. Furthermore, to me, the tag appears more satire or sarcastic than genuine and looks as if it is describing the discussed topic in the article as "awkward" rather than the phrasing itself. Waddles  Gobbles  🍂  🦃 03:55, 25 November 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. This is an inline cleanup tag. It is used quite frequently, roughly ten times per month. Articles tagged with it are fixed quickly by the Guild of Copy Editors, a very active project. I have marked it as transclusionless to keep it off of unused template reports. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 14:25, 25 November 2021 (UTC) reply
    Comment: Although I have argued for keeping this template, I would also be fine with it being redirected to {{ copy edit inline}}, which serves the same purpose. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 16:43, 3 December 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Sometimes the awkwardness is not an easy fix done without thinking, but requires a return to the source material. Most other similar tags (eg, unclear, rewrite) are for entire articles, not for inline bits. Its loss would be felt keenly, I do believe. Thmazing ( talk) 22:10, 28 November 2021 (UTC) reply
    Still Keep. Just read in full Waddle's comment and wanted to respond to the suggestion an editor can just "add copy edit, cleanup, or rewrite tags at the top of the section or article" and have the same effect. I don't think this is a great solution. For instance, I'm here because I just added the awkward tag to the Lenovo article, which is a huge article—even the section the problematic sentence was in is awkward!—so just alerting people the article (or even the section) had an issue wouldn't help the helpful would-be-fixer find the problematic portion.
  • delete Redundant to {{ Clarify}}, which has, er, clearer meaning. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:18, 30 November 2021 (UTC) reply
    I think they have distinct usages (awkward is phrasing only; clarify is usually factual), but it's not the worst collapse in the world. Thmazing ( talk) 16:46, 30 November 2021 (UTC) reply
    These are two very different templates. "Awkward" means that a sentence needs to be fixed, and can almost always be fixed by a copy editor. "Clarify" means that the sentence can't be fixed without more information from a knowledgeable editor. If this template is redundant to anything, it is {{ copy edit inline}}. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 16:38, 3 December 2021 (UTC) reply
