I've created the {{Citation needed}} template. (I used an intermediate
redirection article.) I added an example here:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/index.php?title=Sandbox&oldid=44913

For "Fact check" we could use the same. For fix me we can use the TODO
template. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Template:Todo

I've removed the above quoted page, it was a duplication of "Wiki
issues" and it had only 2 extra links above already registered issues.

Note, that I stared adding "votes" to Wiki Issues. Let's see if this
method works. Please vote, or vote for stopping voting. :-)

Hm, this is resolved with the {{todo|xx}} template, because that links
to the ToDo category.

I keep this quote for reminder to all readers. :-)

We should not add a FIXME without the ability to add description. todo
provides that. (Even if it's a big ugly yellow box. That will encourage
people TO DO it. :-) )

So many good templates. We really need to update the summary of them in
the Templates article.
