Template:Cleanup rewrite

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template should be used on articles which need so much cleanup that rewriting them completely may be necessary to comply with BattleIntelligence's guidelines on style and content. It is strongly encouraged that the editor adding the tag discuss the issue on the article's talk page, especially if the writing appears superficially acceptable.

Usage

To provide a reason for the needed rewrite, use:

{{Cleanup rewrite|Reason for rewrite|article or section}}

To mark a section for rewrite without a reason, use:

{{Cleanup rewrite|section}}

To mark an article for rewrite without a reason, use: {{Cleanup rewrite}}
