Using too many individual article message boxes can distract from the article and make it unpleasant to look at, as in [{{fullurl:Thin_Lizzy|oldid=199434003}} this example]. This template tags articles or sections for multiple maintenance issues and then displays the alerts in a single box, as an alternative to using several space-consuming boxes.

* '''Only one issue:''' Don't use this template for a single issue; just use the stand-alone template. See [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup]] for a list of available tags.

* '''Custom text:''' If no article maintenance template describes a problem, an {{Tl|Ambox}} lets you write custom text. Don't use it to add more than an article maintenance template says, since what is said should be concise and article maintenance templates usually are. In your custom text, link to a relevant policy or guideline so other editors understand why adherence to your Ambox is important. While an article maintenance template generally causes categorization that invites editing, an Ambox template does not, so, if at all feasible, use an article maintenance template instead.
