Cleanup Categories

Each cleanup template adds the page into one or more of the following cleanup categories. Please use a cleanup template rather than directly adding the category.

We use these categories so that editors interested in certain tasks can easily find articles that they might like to work on.

• Content Needed - New text needs to be written
• Cleanup Needed - The article needs to be reorganised or tidied up
• Verification Needed - The facts in this article need to be checked, and perhaps references found as proof
• Explanation Needed - The text needs to be reworded to be clearer
• Organisation Needed - Extra work is needed around on the wiki to make this work

See Category:Cleanup for all cleanup-related articles and categories, and see Tasks for jobs you can do to help out around the wiki.
