User:Alba/Workspace/Cleanup help proposal

Welcome to the Cleanup Bucket! You probably reached this page by clicking on link from a page marked for Cleanup. We're doing our best to clean up Wikipedia, as part of the general effort to maintain Wikipedia. To do so, we need your help to fix articles.

If you can easily fix the problems on a page, we encourage you to register, be bold, and edit it yourself -- on Wikipedia, everyone is an editor!

Otherwise, please help by taking a few moments to sort out the problem with the page. It's easy! Click on a description in the table of contents, then find the best description(s) of the page's problem. There will be a word or phrase in  [ . Copy that (the brackets and everything in them); click "edit this article" on the page with a problem, and paste it into the top of the page. Then click "Save page". Voila! The page is now on a list of pages with similar problems, and will get the wikilove it deserves.

For pages needing topic-specific attention, you can add the page to Pages needing attention, which uses a slightly different system -- see below.

This page is a shorter version of Cleanup resources, which displays each template in full and describes exact guidelines for using templates.

This page needs an editor who knows...
If you think a Cleanup page needs the attention of a Wikipedia editor familiar with the subject, add it to the relevant section of Pages needing attention below:

This page is OK, but needs an expert to make it better
If the page looks clean, with few or no editing problems, but is still too short or incomplete, you can replace the cleanup tag with Expert. This says to any interested Wikipedians, I want an Expert to add more and better content.

Note: don't add this tag if the article still has serious editing problems! We want our experts to add quality material to already encyclopedic articles, not to be fixing major style problems themselves. If you think the page needs both editing help and topic-specific attention, add editing tags and list it on WP:PNA, as shown above.

This isn't an article, but it still needs cleanup

 * I want to mark for cleanup:
 * a list: add cleanup-list.
 * an image: add cleanup-image.
 * a disambiguation page: add disambig-cleanup.

When you don't know what to do

 * Tag a page for general cleanup: Add month-year, adding the month and year.
