Description
This template will add tagged articles to a cleanup category according to the month and year given.
Usage
{{Prose|date=June 2024}}→ Category:Articles needing cleanup from June 2024 and Category:Articles with sections that need to be turned into prose from June 2024.
If no date is given, articles will be added to the more general Category:Wikipedia cleanup and Category:Articles with sections that need to be turned into prose.
Also parameter 1 may be included to replace "article" with a specific term, such as "section" or "table". For example:
{{Prose|section|date=June 2024}}
Please keep this template's messaging consistent with the related templates:
{{Create list}}– the opposite of this template{{Trivia}}– suggests relocation rather than reformatting of the details in a trivia section{{Expand list}}– for use where a list is too short/incomplete{{List to table}}– for use where a table would be better than a list{{Table to prose}}– for use where prose is preferable to a table{{Example farm}}– for articles or sections with too many examples
