Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should be used when the article appears to be written like a news article or a press release. It is used when the article may not be promotional or overly-negative, but is still unencyclopedic in tone.

Placement

Place at the top of the article or sections or both to alert editors.

Usage

articles
  • For articles needing major clean-up, place {{Cleanup-PR|article}} at the top of the main page.
  • For articles needing minor clean-up, place {{Cleanup-PR|article}} at the top of the talk page.
sections
  • To mark specific sections instead of the whole article, place {{Cleanup-PR|section}} at the top of the section.
remarks
  • To replace the text "article or section", supply a first argument, e.g. {{Cleanup-PR|article}} {{Cleanup-PR|section}}
  • To replace the text "a press release", you may use {{Cleanup-PR|article/section|yourtext}} or {{Cleanup-PR|2=yourtext}}
  • You may use the optional date parameter, e.g. {{Cleanup-PR|date=September 2025}}. This helps with the categorization of articles requiring attention.
  • The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste {{Cleanup-PR|date=September 2025}} 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.
  • This template adds articles to Category:Articles with a promotional tone
