From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following tags should be added to the articles needing cleanup, not to their talk pages. Unless otherwise noted, they should be placed at the tops of articles.

Some tags have alternate versions that apply to situations of greater specificity.

Cleanup

[edit]

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

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" width="100%" !Tag !Text that will be shown (and usage notes) {{tlrow|cleanup|category=Wikipedia cleanup}} * This applies to general problems not addressed by other tags. * '''In the future, please use cleanup-date, below, instead.''' {{tlrow|cleanup-date|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|category=Cleanup by month}} * This applies to general problems not addressed by other tags. * Please do '''not''' use this in combination with the [[#Cleanup_.E2.80.94_specific_issues|more specific]] cleanup tags. {{tlrow|cleanup-remainder|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|category=Cleanup by month}} * Use this tag where the remaining sections of an article need cleanup. {{tlrow|CleanupConfusing|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|category=Cleanup by month}} * Use this tag in articles that need broad cleanup to eliminate confusion and discrepancies. {{tlrow|cleanup-list|category=Wikipedia list cleanup}} * Use this tag where a list needs cleanup. {{tlrow|cleanup-image|category=Images for cleanup}} * This should be used for images that have artifacts, poor definition, poor lighting, or other visual flaws. * Many of these images may need to be replaced entirely. Try listing on [[Wikipedia:Image recreation requests]]. {{tlrow|disambig-cleanup|category=Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup}} * Use this for disambiguation pages not written according to the style in [[MoS:DP]]. * Replace {{Lts|disambig}} with this. {{tlrow|cleanup-afd|category=Wikipedia cleanup after AFD}} * Use this tag where an [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|AFD]] discussion closes with a consensus of "keep and cleanup." |}{{-}}
