This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Please discuss this issue on the talk page or replace this tag with a more specific message. . |
Usage
Use: {{cleanup-reason}}
- This template is a self-reference.
- Please do not subst: this template.
- Please give a clear reason to future editors which may be specified by:
Parameter options
There are three optional named control parameters, section=, date= and (your) reason=(ing), two of which may be specified by either name or numeric order.
- Date must be given in the format MMMMMM YYYY, where MMMMMM represents the full month name (April, November, etc.) followed by YYYY, representing the year in four digits (2007) separated by a space. That format is necessary to auto-categorize the page to the proper cleanup by date tagged category. The format is guaranteed by substituting
{{DATE}}. - Your Reason for tagging the page can be any brief sensible text that will help any editors who come along later to understand what you see as shortcomings. If section= is not defined, the reason will double as a link extension to the talk page section where the cleanup needs should be explained.
- Alternatively, define section= which supersedes {{{reason}}} and numeric parameters alike.
- Longer reasoning or a local list of deficiencies can be given as a subsequent (numeric) parameter and should always be documented on the talk page in a separate section that includes the name of this template as part of the section name. HTML elements such as formating to new lines will work within your reasons.
