=== Usage ===
{{Tlx|Cleanup}} should be used with the following two parameters:
* <tt>reason</tt>: 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.
* <tt>date</tt>: the month and year (e.g. {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}) when the Cleanup template was added to the article; this helps to figure out how long an article has been tagged for cleanup.
Optional parameters include:
* <tt>talksection</tt>: 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. If practicable, please use a [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup|more specific cleanup template]]. Because {{Tlx|Cleanup}} is vague, specific problems should be identified in the <tt>reason</tt> 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 [[Wikipedia:Subst|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 per [[WP:BETTER]].
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|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} would display as:
{{Cleanup|article|reason=the article is full of incorrect capitalization|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|demospace=main|nocat=true}}
{| class="wikitable"
|+ The template detects which [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]] it is used in and changes accordingly:
! Article
| {{Cleanup|article|reason=lorem ipsum dolor sit amet|demospace=main|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|nocat=true}}
|-
! Category
| {{Cleanup|category|reason=lorem ipsum dolor sit amet|demospace=category|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|nocat=true}}
|-
! Template
| {{Cleanup|template|reason=lorem ipsum dolor sit amet|demospace=other|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|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: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 [[WP:SOFIXIT|bold]] and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this template and leaving it for someone else to clean up.
