Welcome to the TTSCpedia (beta)! This wiki is the successor to the FANDOM/Wikia version! You may create an account on the new wiki during the Public Beta stage and begin editing. Please see the to-do list here. Any content from the FANDOM/Wikia wiki will not be transferred automatically, such as pages, and accounts. That must be done manually by the end user, being you. |
Limited Feature Set Many TTSCpedia features are currently semi-broken due to regressions introduced with the MediaWiki upgrade. We hope to be fully operational again soon. The MonoBook skin has temporarily been set as the default skin due to Cali not being fully ported to the new version of MediaWiki. |
Template:Cleanup/doc
This template uses Lua: |
Usage
{{Cleanup}}
should be used with the following two parameters:
|reason=
: the reason for requesting cleanup. This is useful for editors in case the reason for requesting a cleanup is not immediately obvious.|date=
: the month and year (e.g. May 2024) when the Cleanup template was added to the article; this helps to figure out how long an article has been tagged for cleanup.
Optional parameters include:
- the first parameter: changes the default descriptor (i.e. "Article"). Example tl|Cleanup|section changes it to "Section". A wrapper is {{Cleanup section}}
|talksection=
: the section of the talk page explaining what needs to be done. Add a new section to the talk page explaining the type and extent of clean-up required so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this template.
The template should be placed at the top of the article requiring a cleanup. If practicable, please use a more specific cleanup template. Because {{Cleanup}}
is vague, specific problems should be identified in the reason
field; a more detailed explanation of what needs to be done can be provided on the article's talk page. An article's {{Cleanup}}
template may be removed without the problems being fixed if it is not possible to identify what needs to be cleaned up.
If this template is substituted, the end result consists of an unsubstituted form including an automatically filled date=
parameter with the current date.
When to use
This tag is intended to identify pages that need wikification or the correction of spelling, grammar, typographical errors, tone, and other similar, non-content-focused changes.
Articles that violate policy need more direct action. Other templates are better suited to content disputes.
Alternative
If the problem is correctable with the skills you already possess, consider being bold and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this template and leaving it for someone else to clean up.
Examples
For example, {{Cleanup|reason=the article is full of incorrect capitalization.|date=May 2024}}
would display as:
This article may require cleanup. The specific problem is: the article is full of incorrect capitalization.May 2024) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) ( |

The descriptor (on the preceding example "template") can be changed from its default using the first parameter, for instance {{Cleanup|section}}
or {{Cleanup|disambiguation page}}
.
Categorization
This template will add pages on which it is used to a specific category Category:Articles needing cleanup containing pages needing cleanup or a dated subcategory thereof.
Tracking categories
For tracking purposes it also categorises the page according to whether a reason code has been given.
