| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cleanup-PR. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template should be used when the article appears to have been written by a public relations agent acting on behalf of the subject of the article, or having some connection with the subject. It is used when the article is not necessarily a blatant advertisement, but is still overly promotional in tone.
Contents
Placement
Place at the top of the article and/or sections to alert editors.
Usage
- articles
- For articles needing major clean-up, place
{{newsrelease|article}}at the top of the main page to alert readers. - For articles needing minor clean-up, place
{{newsrelease|article}}at the top of the talk page to alert editors.
- sections
- To mark specific sections instead of the whole article, place
{{newsrelease|section}}at the top of the section.
- remarks
- To replace the text "article or section", supply a first argument, e.g.
{{newsrelease|article}}{{newsrelease|section}} - To replace the text "a news release", you may use
{{newsrelease|article/section|yourtext}}or{{newsrelease|2=yourtext}} - You may use the optional date parameter, e.g.
{{newsrelease|date=January 2026}}. This helps with the categorization of articles requiring attention. - The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste
{{newsrelease|date=January 2026}}at the top of the article or talk page. - Add a new item to the talk page explaining the problem so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this tag.
