  • 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.

remarks
  • To replace the text "article or section", supply a first argument, e.g. {{newsrelease|article}} {{newsrelease|section}}
  • To replace the text "a press 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.
