Tagagamit:Bluemask/Temp/Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup

The following tags should be added to articles that need a cleanup. Unless otherwise noted, they should be placed at the top of the article. Note that the date parameter will be added by a bot if it is left off. Some tags have alternative versions that apply to situations of greater specificity.

Note: Many cleanup templates listed below need their own minor cleanup. They add tagged pages to a category, as well as lists with examples. To disable this, replace:
...<includeonly>[[Category:etc.]]</includeonly>
with
...<includeonly>{{{category|[[Category:etc.]]}}}</includeonly>.
