Documentation

This template is used for maintenance purposes to signal that a page needs some tender, loving care, or maybe brutal pruning. Marked pages will automatically be added to Category:Pages marked for cleanup.

This template uses {{Notice}} to create the box and it's not visible on mobile devices (added class nomobile).

Usage

To use, put {{Cleanup|reason}} at the start of the page.

Parameters

Parameter[note 1] Data Type Status Default Value Description
Position or name Placeholder
1 reason String Optional No reason has been provided Reason why the article needs cleanup.
noCategories - Boolean Optional - If given any value, the page will not be auto-categorized.

Notes

  1. Placeholders refer to the names used in the syntax above. For documentation purposes positioned parameters often have a pseudo name instead of their number to improve readabilty, e.g. reason instead of 1.
    Placeholder - indicates parameters that are not used by default and need to be added by hand, e.g. |noCategories = 1.

Example
