:If you're referring to fact that this template connects to Articles in need of work, I have to agree. There are a lot of pages with only 1 or 2 of those that only need a small fix, yet get added in the same category with pages that might have a dozen or more. It seems overkill in my opinion, if an article is otherwise good quality. ButI can also see the argument for why it's added. | :If you're referring to fact that this template connects to Articles in need of work, I have to agree.

::I mean, the articles in need of work is intended to be used for people who want to fix something, and are looking for articles to do it on - the category itself is not a warning to readers (that's the purpose intended to be filled by the notices), so I don't think we need to worry about the category negatively labelling the article. | |||
::I do agree though that if a user turns up after clicking on an 'article in need of work' article, they might be initially confused by what is actually meant to be wrong with an article that contains only a 'citation needed' thing somewhere on it. Might be worth implementing the option. Is this a protected template or can anyone edit it? i'd be happy for someone to have a go at implementing a nocat parameter, provided it doesn't break existing citation needed templates.
