Şablon:Cleanup

This template is used on 28,000+ pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation).

This template is used by the standard installation of Twinkle. If you are planning to make major changes to this template or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's user base and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy.

{{Cleanup}} can be used on its own, or with the following two optional parameters:

• reason: 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.
• date: the month and year (e.g. Kanun 2024) when the Cleanup template was added to the article; this helps to figure out how long an article has been tagged for cleanup.

For example, {{Cleanup|reason=the article is full of incorrect capitalisation|date=Kanun 2024}} would display as:

This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: the article is full of incorrect capitalisation. Please help improve this article if you can. The talk page may contain suggestions. (Kanun 2024)

The template should be placed at the top of the article requiring a cleanup. If practicable, please use a more specific cleanup template. Because {{Cleanup}} is general , specific problems should be identified in the reason field; a more detailed explanation of what needs to be done can be provided on the article's talk page. An article's {{Cleanup}} template may be removed without the problem(s) being fixed if it is not possible to identify what needs to be cleaned-up.

The template detects which namespace it is used in and changes accordingly:

Article	This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Please help improve this article if you can. The talk page may contain suggestions. (Kanun 2024)
Category	This category may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Please help improve this category if you can. The talk page may contain suggestions.
Template	This template may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Please help improve this template if you can. The talk page may contain suggestions.

The descriptor (on the preceding example "template") can be changed from its default using the first parameter, for instance {{Cleanup|section}} or {{Cleanup|disambiguation page}}.

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.

Do not substitute this template.

Use this tag when the article needs improvement per WP:BETTER. Articles that violate policy need more direct action.

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.

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.
