Wikipedia information page

This is aninformation page.

It is not anencyclopedic article, nor one ofWikipedia's policies or guidelines; rather, its purpose is to explain certain aspects of Wikipedia's norms, customs, technicalities, or practices. It may reflect differing levels ofconsensus andvetting.

Shortcuts

This page in a nutshell: Add template messages to inform readers and editors of specific problems with articles or sections, but donot use them as a badge of shame.

Template messages (maintenance tags,cleanup tags,cleanup messages) may be added to articles needingcleanup. 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 permanentbadge of shame to show that you disagree with an article, or a method ofwarning readers about an article.

Unless otherwise noted, cleanup messages should be placed at the top of the page, before other templates, images, or infoboxes, but after hatnotes (seeWikipedia:Hatnote § Placement). Cleanup messages should be placed directly on the article or file, not on its talk page. Certain tags can be placed at the beginning of an individual section, and others can be placed within the text itself (inline).

A date parameter is added by abot, or you can add it yourself with|date=October 2025.

What to remember

Before you tag an article, please remember the following:

Don't tag an article if you can easily and confidently fix the problem.: The goal is an improved article, not a tagged article.
Do some research to attempt to solve the problem before tagging.: Don't put the burden of doing so on another editor if you are capable of fixing the problem yourself with a simple search or consulting a reference work.
Don't perform "drive-by" tagging.: Tags must be accompanied by either a comment on the article's talk page explaining the problem and beginning a discussion on how to fix it or, for simpler and more obvious problems, a remark using thereason parameter (available in all templates, regardless of whether it appears in the documentation) as shown below. At the very least, tagging editors must be willing to follow through with substantive discussion.
Don't perform "drive-by" de-tagging.: Likewise, please provide a similar rationale forremoving a template, unless your preceding edits have clearly fixed the announced problem. See alsowhen not to remove a template.
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{{tone}} and{{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:Wikipedia:Tag bombing andWikipedia:Tagging pages for problems § Over-tagging)
If multiple tags are necessary, consider using the{{multiple issues}} template.: This will help to avoid cluttering the article with tags and eclipsing the article's content.
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 noting grammatical problems for a section that needs to be completely re-written to comply with content policies. Focus on the biggest one, two, or three problems.

Does the article meet inclusion requirements?

Before placing templates on a page it is worthwhile to cast acritical eye over the page to determine whether indeed it should be included in Wikipedia. Some articles can be tagged forspeedy deletion or nominated for a deletion discussion atWikipedia:Articles 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 variouscleanup categories such asmaintenance andarticles with content issues and try to address the problems so that the templates can be removed. Editors who frequently tag articles should also address thebacklogs.

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 noticeable changes. In general, an editor who places a template message to indicate a problem like this should explain their rationale fully on thetalk page of the article. If theconsensus 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|article 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|article with|section (where the| is a pipe key| found on most keyboards as a shift-backslash⇧ Shift+\. See the specific template below to determine if such "section use" is supported and appropriate.
