Function details: Giving the "cleanup" parameter to causes the page to be placed into Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup, which is a dated maintenance category; pages should be sorted into an appropriate dated subcategory instead.

The bot will change any instance of with "cleanup" as one of its unnamed/numbered parameters to the corresponding invocation of, and add the current month and year in date.

Discussion
