Template talk:Cleanup

YPPediaized Cleanup Explanation Page

Just a note that we should probably create some YPPedia specific pages for this template to point to or point it to things like how to write an article. --Guppymomma 18:51, 1 October 2005 (PDT)

Yes. This is what I meant over there too. I think in addition to changing the link mentioned there, the first link 'Cleanup' should really point to something helpful (explaining why the tag is there and give pointers to the most common case (infobox usage)). I guess I will try to write a bit about it. I will put it in my sandbox, but where should it go if finished - YYPedia:Cleanup ? --Alfwyn 12:06, 5 March 2008 (PST)

YPPedia:Cleanup sounds good to me.

Tag message

I'd like to see this template (and {{cleanupfor}}) have an explicit label that says not to remove it without discussion/significant changes. Exactly how it should be worded, I'm not sure, but there've been enough improper removals of late that I think a warning ought to be there for the greenies, much the same way as there is for {{Proposed deletion}}. I realize cleanup is a bit different from deletion, in that the problems with the article may be more easily fixed, but a lot of new editors have problems cleaning up their own pages, so I think the template should note that things really need to be shaped up, rather than merely being modified slightly. --Emufarmers 21:17, 13 July 2006 (PDT)
