But as UltimateSupreme said... our usage of notice templates is low/very low. Articles tagged as a stub tend to be fixed quite quickly by editors.

Lately there has been much more reluctance by editors to do cleanups and expand articles, even with notices on them for ages... how is a flag going to get someone to get it done faster?

I'm sorry for sounding skeptical/cynical, but this feature really doesn't benefit the wiki for the reasons I've already stated. But it doesn't matter much as we're going to have it forced upon us, whether we like it or not (even if the whole community opposed it). So we'll just have to get used to this feature, even if it's redundant.
