Template:Edit template-protected To my mind, in the default output notification "The specific problem is: … Please help …", a period should be added before Please help. (Please be so kind as to ping me when answering. Thanks a lot in advance!) Regards--Hildeoc (talk) 20:20, 13 April 2019 (UTC) Hildeoc (talk) 20:20, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

File:Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: Template:U, A few years ago the template was updated so that the Template:Para parameter became mandatory. The first example given in the doc shows the use of a full stop. Including a default full stop would mess up the presentation when someone has a more puzzled reason? or a more emphatic reason! If you feel it's not made clear, please update the documentation. Cabayi (talk) 07:22, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Template:Edit template-protected Can anybody provide support for this issue regarding the template documentation?--Hildeoc (talk) 17:16, 24 September 2019 (UTC) Hildeoc (talk) 17:16, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Template:Ping Are my changes to the sandbox (see Template:Cleanup/testcases#Test of missing reason parameter only) what you're asking be done? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 17:28, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Template:Edit template-protected With regard to transclusions of this template, I would recommend adding a period at the end of the reason= parameter, so as to make sure a period is rendered by default before the subsequent parameter default phrases, which bar none seem to begin with capitals (e. g. "Please help improve this article if you can" or "Relevant discussion may be found …").--Hildeoc (talk) 19:29, 26 September 2019 (UTC) Hildeoc (talk) 19:29, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Does anybody maintain this template?

When one puts e. g.

{{cleanup|reason=primary sources|garbage dump}}

one gets interesting results: Template:Cleanup Is the template supposed to work like that? --Ouro (blah blah) 10:32, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Template:Re You may want to see the template's history and its doc page history to see if, who and how often does anything about the template. --CiaPan (talk) 11:32, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

BTW, templates are not meant to be fool- and vandal-proof. Instead, users are supposed to not be fools or vandals. File:Face-smile.svg CiaPan (talk)

Edited the question a bit. --CiaPan (talk) 17:18, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, it is supposed to work like that. The unnamed parameter Template:Para is documented as Template:Tq. Whatever is put into that parameter appears after the word "this" in the rendered template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:05, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Template:Edit template-protected Could someone please cleanup (pun intended) this template so it displays properly inside the Template:Tlx template? See Draft:Manish Shah (film producer) for an example of how it does not display properly. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 13:49, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

File:X mark.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the Template:Tlx template. This incompatibility seems almost intentional. Per Template:Multiple issues/doc: Template:Tq —⁠andrybak (talk) 16:32, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Agree with editor Andrybak. This template will display correctly in the Template:Tlx template when it is included in mainspace. In any other namespace it transfers from using Template:Tl to Template:Tl, and Mbox does not yield the desired result like Ambox does (in mainspace). Here is a list of other cleanup templates that might be useful. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 19:58, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

@Paine Ellsworth: I was surprised to see it display improperly on the draft, as I haven't seem anything display improperly in articlespace in a long time. Thanks for the explanation of the difference. GoingBatty (talk) 16:59, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Happy to help! Paine  17:29, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
