{{Documentation subpage}} {{Substitution|not}} {{high-use|100+}} {{Twinkle standard installation}} {{Lua|Module:Unsubst}} <!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE --> ===Example === <pre >{{Cleanup|reason=incorrect capitalization }}</pre > {{Cleanup|reason=incorrect capitalization }} <pre >{{Cleanup|reason=incorrect capitalization|date=2019}}</pre > {{Cleanup|reason=incorrect capitalization|date=2019}} <pre >{{Cleanup|reason =incorrect capitalization|date={{year}}</pre > {{Cleanup|reason =incorrect capitalization|date={{year}}}} ===Sandbox testing === {{collapse top}} <pre >{{Cleanup/sandbox|reason=incorrect capitalization no date }}</pre > {{Cleanup/sandbox|reason=incorrect capitalization no date}} <pre >{{Cleanup/sandbox|reason=incorrect capitalization|date=2019}}</pre > {{Cleanup/sandbox|reason=incorrect capitalization|date=2019}} <pre >{{Cleanup/sandbox|reason =incorrect capitalization|date={{year}}</pre > {{Cleanup/sandbox|reason =incorrect capitalization|date={{year}}}} <pre >{{Cleanup/sandbox|date=2019}}</pre > {{Cleanup/sandbox|date=2019}} {{collapse bottom}} === Usage === {{Tlx|Cleanup}} should be used with the following parameter: * <code>reason</code>: the reason for requesting cleanup. This is useful for editors in case the reason for requesting a cleanup is not immediately obvious. The first character of the reason (immediately after the equals sign) should be lowercase, in order to preserve the sentence flow when rendered.<br > <code>date</code>: the date is automatically completed; this helps to figure out how long an article has been tagged for cleanup. Optional parameters include: * <code>talksection</code>: the section of the talk page explaining what needs to be done. Add a new section to the talk page explaining the type and extent of clean-up required so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this template. The template should be placed at the top of the article requiring a cleanup. Because {{Tlx|Cleanup}} is vague, specific problems should be identified in the <code>reason</code> field; a more detailed explanation of what needs to be done can be provided on the article's talk page. An article's {{Tlx|Cleanup}} template may be removed without the problem(s) being fixed if it is not possible to identify what needs to be cleaned up. Do not [[Help:Substitution|substitute]] this template. ===When to use=== This tag is intended to identify pages that need wikification or the correction of spelling, grammar, typographical errors, tone, and other similar, non-content-focused changes. Use this tag when the article needs improvement. Articles that violate policy need more direct action. Other templates, such as {{tl|POV}}, are better suited to content disputes. === Examples === For example, {{Tlx|Cleanup|reason{{=}}the article is full of incorrect capitalization}} would display as: {{Cleanup|article|reason=the article is full of incorrect capitalization|demospace=main|nocat=true}} {| class="wikitable" |+ The template detects which namespace it is used in and changes accordingly: ! Article | {{Cleanup|article|reason=lorem ipsum dolor sit amet|demospace=main|nocat=true}} |- ! Category | {{Cleanup|category|reason=lorem ipsum dolor sit amet|demospace=category|nocat=true}} |- ! Template | {{Cleanup|template|reason=lorem ipsum dolor sit amet|demospace=other|nocat=true}} |} The descriptor (on the preceding example "template") can be changed from its default using the first parameter, for instance {{Tlc|Cleanup|section}} or {{Tlc|Cleanup|disambiguation page}}. ====Categorization==== This template will add pages on which it is used to a specific category [[:Category:All articles needing cleanup]] containing pages needing cleanup or a dated subcategory thereof. For tracking purposes it also categorises the page according to whether a reason code has been given. ==== Alternative ==== If the problem is correctable with the skills you already possess, consider being bold and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this template and leaving it for someone else to clean up. {{Cleanup/doc/seealso}} === Redirects === <includeonly> <!-- CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS HERE, THANKS --> [[Category:Cleanup templates]] [[Category:Exclude in print]] </includeonly>
