===Usage===
{{Tlx|Cleanup}} can be used with the following two parameters:
* <tt>reason</tt>: the reason for requesting cleanup. This is useful for editors in case the reason for requesting a cleanup is not immediately obvious. The first character of the reason (immediately after the equals sign) should be lowercase, in order to preserve the sentence flow when rendered.
* <tt>date</tt>: the month and year (e.g. {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}) when the template was added to the article; this helps to figure out how long an article has been tagged for cleanup.

The template should be placed at the top of the article requiring a cleanup. If practicable, please use a [[Wikipedia:Template messages|more specific cleanup template]]. Because {{tlx|Cleanup}} is vague, specific problems should be identified in the <tt>reason</tt> field; a more detailed explanation of what needs to be done can be provided on the article's talk page. An article's {{tlx|Cleanup}} template may be removed without the problem(s) being fixed if it is not possible to identify what needs to be cleaned-up.

Do not [[Wikipedia:Subst|substitute]] this template.

====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 [[Wikipedia:How to write Simple English pages]].

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

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

====Categorisation====
This template puts articles in the category [[:Category:All pages needing cleanup]]. Adding the {{para|date}} parameter, as in {{tlx|Cleanup|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} will additionally place the article in a monthly cleanup category (such as [[:Category:Pages needing cleanup from {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}]]). Leaving the date unspecified will add the article to the parent category [[:Category:Pages needing cleanup]].

===Redirects===
The following templates redirect here:
*{{tl|cleanup-rewrite}}

===Related templates===
* {{Tl|Cleanup-afd}} - For RfD discussions that closed as "keep", but require cleanup
* {{Tl|Wikify}}
