Some of the templates, for example {{NPOV}}, provide as a warning to
the reader that "this article has problems, we are working on it" so
they should be kept on the page. Others, for example {{wikify}} would
probably be better on the talk page for clutter reasons.

Maybe there's already a discussion about that at [[Template
talk:Wikify]] but I'm just stating my opinion.
