[redatá] Usage

You may use the optional date parameter, e.g. {{Cleanup|avriil 2007}}. This helps with the categorisation of articles requiring cleanup. Articles tagged with this template without the parameter will given the parameter by a bot.

The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste Template:Tlp at the top of the article or talk page, or use {{subst:Cleanup-now}}.

Add a new item 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 tag.

[redatá] Notes

  • This template will add tagged articles to Category:All pages needing cleanup and, if date is not specified, Category:Wikipedia cleanup (from which the bot will move them to appropriate subcategory of Category:Cleanup by month).
  • This template is a self-reference.
  • Please do not subst: this template.
  • Use this tag when the article needs improvement per WP:BETTER. Articles that violate policy need more direct action.
