{{Nutshell|Add template messages to inform readers and editors of specific problems with articles or sections. Do not use them as a badge of shame.}}{{Shortcut|WP:TC|WP:TMC}}

The following '''template messages''' may be added to articles needing a '''[[WP:Cleanup|cleanup]]'''. Their purposes are to foster improvement of the encyclopedia by alerting editors to changes that need to be made.  Cleanup tags are meant to be temporary notices that lead to an effort to fix the problem, not a permanent [[badge of shame]] to show that you disagree with the article or a method of [[Wikipedia:No disclaimers in articles|warning the readers]] against the article.

Unless otherwise noted, the cleanup messages, or tags, should be placed at the top—before other templates, images, or infoboxes, but after a possible hatnote (see [[WP:Hatnote#Placement]]). Certain tags can be placed at the top of an individual section, and others can be placed within the text itself (inline).

* '''Avoid tagging articles if you can easily fix the problem.'''  The goal is an improved article, not a tagged article.
* '''Avoid "drive-by" tagging''': tags should be accompanied by a comment on the article's talk page explaining the problem and beginning a discussion on how to fix it, or, for simpler problems, a remark using the ''reason'' parameter as shown below
* '''Don’t insert tags that are similar or redundant.''' For example, most articles that read like essays have an inappropriate tone, and in fact they end up being automatically grouped in the same category, so it is unnecessary to tag with both {{tl|tone}} and {{tl|essay-like}}.
* '''If an article has many problems, tag only the highest priority issues.'''  A lengthy list is often less helpful than a shorter one. ''(See also: [[WP:Tag bombing|tag bombing]] and [[Wikipedia:Tagging pages for problems#Over-tagging|over-tagging]])''
* '''Don't add tags for trivial or minor problems, especially if an article needs a lot of work.'''  For example, there is little point in polishing the grammar of a section that needs to be dramatically re-written to comply with content policies.  Focus on the biggest one, two, or three problems.

A date parameter is added by a [[WP:BOT|bot]], or you can add it yourself with <code><nowiki>|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}</code>.

==Does the article meet inclusion requirements?==
Before placing templates on a page it is worthwhile to cast a [[Critical thinking|critical]] eye over the page to determine whether it should, in fact, be included in Wikipedia. Some articles can be tagged for [[WP:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] or nominated for a deletion discussion at [[WP:Articles for deletion|article for deletion]].

==Best practices in obscure or unpopular articles==
On pages that have received little attention from editors or readers, cleanup templates can be used as a way to call attention to problems that need to be addressed by editors. Editors who want to help address these problems should look through the various [[:Category:Wikipedia cleanup|cleanup categories]] such as [[:Category:Wikipedia maintenance|maintenance]] and [[:Category:Wikipedia articles with content issues|articles with content issues]] and try to address the problems so that the templates can be removed. Editors who do a lot of tagging of articles should also address the [[:Category:Wikipedia backlog|backlogs]].

==Best practices in heavily monitored articles==
On pages that are being edited by a number of users, cleanup templates are used to inform readers and editors of ongoing discussions and attempts to fix the problems on the page. Such templates can be used to attract uninvolved users to discussions and cleanup efforts, and they can also serve as a warning to casual readers that the article may have problems and be subject to [[WP:BOLD|dramatic changes]]. In general, an editor who places a template message to indicate a problem like this should explain their rationale fully on the [[WP:TALK|talkpage]] of the article. If the [[WP:CON|consensus]] of the other editors is that there is a problem or an editorial dispute that deserves such a clean-up template, then the editors should work to fix the problem as quickly and cleanly as possible so the template message can be removed. If the consensus is that there is no problem, then the message can be removed immediately. For heavily monitored articles, please do not add or remove template messages of this sort without using the talk page.

==Use in sections==
Many of these cleanup tags require you to place <code>|article</code> as the first parameter when you use the tag at the top of an article.  When you want the template to refer to just one section,  however, you replace <code>|article</code> with <code>|section</code> (where the <code>|</code> is a [[WP:Piped link|pipe]] key found on most keyboards as a shift-backslash (<code>\</code>). See the specific template below to determine if such "section use" is supported and appropriate.

==Tag consolidation==
If too many tags are put at the top of an article, the article can become eclipsed by the tags, especially with short or stub articles.  Consider consolidating the tags into the {{tl|multiple issues}} template.
