Sometimes you will make a mistake and create a page with a bad name, or you will spot a mis-spelled article title. In these situations, you should mark the article with the appropriate template, which will automatically place the article into one of the requests categories. Once there is reasonable certainty that the problem has been alleviated, then the template can be removed.
