If someone could provide a summary of what tweaks you'd like to Special:Flags, we can easily get that done. On my own quick review, I think MessageBox should be taken off the list (since it's a template used to make other templates), along with Directors, Producers, Movie Images and Video Game Images - since those are primarily used on category pages, not articles.

While that would leave the list pretty short, that's no bad thing. We don't wish to encourage the proliferation of notice boxes (useful in small amounts, annoying in large amounts), just to migrate existing ones to a new system.

We're currently coding the ability to make changes on Special:Flags itself, meaning you'll be able to take control of this aspect soon.

Finally, to take a specific example and let you know what would happen: on migration, the Delete template wikitext would be removed from articles by WikiaBot. You would then flag/unflag a page for deletion via the 'Flags' dropdown on the Edit button menu. Otherwise, it will act exactly as normal - articles appearing in Category:To Be Deleted, and on WhatLinksHere lists. If someone wrote in an article, it will get converted to the flag version on Publish (note: this is not working right now, so it would actually just stay as the wikitext version - but that will be fixed).
