<br />
This is the {{tl|cleanup}} template.<br />
<br />
'''Note: this generic template should only be used when a [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup|more specific tag]] is not suitable.'''<br />
<br />
=== Placement ===<br />
<br />
For articles needing major clean-up, place at the top of the article to alert readers.<br />
<br />
For articles needing minor clean-up, place at the top of the talk page to alert editors.<br />
<br />
This template automatically detects which [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]] it is used in and changes style accordingly. That means that on articles it looks like this:<br />
<br />
{{cleanup | demospace = main }}<br />
<br />
While on talk pages it looks like this:<br />
<br />
{{cleanup | demospace = talk }}<br />
<br />
=== Usage ===<br />
<br />
You can optionally use the first parameter to change the word "article", for instance {{tlc|cleanup|section}} or {{tlc|cleanup|disambiguation page}}. (Although for sections we have the {{tl|cleanup-section}}.)<br />
<br />
You may use the optional date parameter, e.g. <code><nowiki>{{Cleanup|</nowiki>date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. This helps with the categorisation of articles requiring cleanup. Articles tagged with this template without this parameter will be given the parameter by a [[WP:BOT|bot]].<br />
<br />
The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste<code> <nowiki>{{Cleanup| {{subst:DATE}} }}</nowiki></code> at the top of the article or talk page, or use <code><nowiki>{{subst:Cleanup-now}}</nowiki></code>.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Alternative ===<br />
<br />
If the problem is correctable with the skills you already possess, consider being [[WP:SOFIXIT|bold]] and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this tag and leaving it for someone else to clean up.<br />
<br />
=== Notes ===<br />
<br />
* For section cleanup, use {{tl|cleanup-section}}.<br />
* 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]]).<br />
* This [[Wikipedia:Template|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-reference]].<br />
* Please do not [[Wikipedia:Subst|subst:]] this template.<br />
*Use this tag when the article needs improvement per [[WP:BETTER]]. Articles that violate policy need more direct action.<br />
<br />
=== Redirects ===<br />
<br />
Several names redirect redirect here and can be used as alternative names for this template. Although using this template's real name is probably the least confusing.<br />
<br />
# {{Tl|Attention}}<br />
# {{Tl|Attention (on talk page)}}<br />
# {{Tl|Attention needed (article page)}}<br />
# {{Tl|Attention needed (talk page)}}<br />
# {{Tl|Attention see talk}}<br />
# {{Tl|Attn}}<br />
# {{Tl|Clean}}<br />
# {{Tl|Clean up}}<br />
# {{Tl|Clean-up}}<br />
# {{Tl|Cleanup-quality}}<br />
# {{Tl|Cleanup-date}}<br />
# {{Tl|Cu}}<br />
# {{Tl|CU}}<br />
<!-- #{{Tl|Refactor}} - not currently a redirect --><br />
# {{Tl|Tidy}}<br />
# {{Tl|Ugly}}<br />
# {{Tl|Unfinished}}<br />
<br />
=== Transclusions ===<br />
<br />
# {{tl|Cleanup-now}} – Automatically adds the current month and year. Note: Always "subst:" that template.<br />
