== Post articles on WikiProject Cleanup ==
If you feel that your article needs a significant amount of cleanup, you can post articles on [[WP:CLEAN]] (Project Cleanup) to have them cleaned by users. It is more effective than tagging as there is a backlog for the tags. Editors will give your submitted article a cleanup and fix any problems associated with it. Please submit at [[WP:CLEAN]].

== Usage ==
{{Tlc|{{ROOTPAGENAME}}}} should be used with the following two parameters:
* {{para|date}}: the month and year (e.g. {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}) when the Cleanup template was added to the article; this helps to figure out how long an article has been tagged for cleanup.
* {{para|reason}}: the reason for requesting cleanup. This is useful for editors in case the reason for requesting a cleanup is not immediately obvious.

Optional parameters include:
* {{para|talk}} or {{para|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.
* {{para|1}} (or an empty parameter): changes the default descriptor (i.e., "article"). For example, {{tlx|Cleanup|section}} changes it to "section".
* {{para|small}}: enter 'left' here to turn the template into a small box on the left side of the screen.
* {{para|nocat}}: enter 'true' here to prevent the template from adding cleanup categories to the article.

The template should be placed at the top of the article requiring a cleanup. If practicable, please use a [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup|more specific cleanup template]]. Because {{Tlc|{{ROOTPAGENAME}}}} is vague, specific problems should be identified in the <code>reason</code> field; a more detailed explanation of what needs to be done can be provided on the article's talk page. An article's {{Tlc|{{ROOTPAGENAME}}}} 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 [[Wikipedia:Subst|substituted]], the end result consists of an unsubstituted form including an automatically filled <code>date=</code> 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. Use this tag when the article needs improvement per [[WP:BETTER]].

Articles that violate policy need more direct action. Other templates, such as {{tl|POV}}, are better suited to content disputes.

=== Alternative ===
If the problem is correctable with the skills you already possess, consider being [[WP:SOFIXIT|bold]] and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this template and leaving it for someone else to clean up.

== Examples ==
For example, {{Tlc|{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|reason{{=}}the article is full of incorrect capitalization.|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} would display as:
{{Cleanup|article|reason=the article is full of incorrect capitalization.|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|demospace=main|nocat=true}}

{| class="wikitable"
|+ The template detects which [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]] it is used in and changes accordingly:
! Article
| {{Cleanup|article|reason=lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.|demospace=main|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|nocat=true}}
|-
! Category
| {{Cleanup|category|reason=lorem ipsum dolor sit amet!|demospace=category|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|nocat=true}}
|-
! Template
| {{Cleanup|template|reason=lorem ipsum dolor sit amet?|demospace=other|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|nocat=true}}
|}

The descriptor (on the preceding example "template") can be changed from its default using the first parameter, for instance {{Tlc|Cleanup|section}} or {{Tlc|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 ===
* {{clc|All pages needing cleanup}}

For tracking purposes it also categorises the page according to whether a reason code has been given.

== See also ==
* {{Tl|Cleanup AfD}} – For AfD discussions that closed as "keep", but require cleanup
* {{Tl|Cleanup image}} – For images that need cleanup
* {{Tl|Cleanup reorganize}} – For articles that need a reorganization in addition to cleanup
* {{Tl|Cleanup see also}} – For "See also" sections
* {{Tl|Multiple issues}}
* {{Tl|Spacing}}
* [[Wikipedia:Clarify the cleanup]]
* [[Wikipedia:Cleanup process]]
* [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup]]
* ''[[Template:Cleanup template documentation see also section generic list|List of cleanup templates]]''

== Redirects ==

* {{Tl|Attention}}
* {{Tl|Attention (on talk page)}}
* {{Tl|Attention see talk}}
* {{Tl|Attn}}
* {{Tl|CU}}
