Some of the Super Smash Bros. Wiki's articles may be poorly written, not look nice, or have many grammatical errors. However, these articles can be fixed by having a '''cleanup'''. | |||
==What is a cleanup?== | |||
A cleanup is exactly what the name says. It is a a method of cleaning up an article so that its quality will improve. Pages which look messy, have many grammatical errors, or which are poorly written can be listed as requiring a cleanup. Users will see that these pages are in need of assistance and will work on them to improve them. | |||
==Marking articles for cleanup== | |||
When you've found a page that requires a cleanup, you can then add the cleanup template. At the top of the page, simply add '''<nowiki>{{cleanup}}</nowiki>'''. Doing so will create this template at the top of the page: | |||
{{cleanup|doc=}} | |||
You can also add the page to the cleanup category by adding '''[[:Category:Articles in need of cleanup|<nowiki>[[Category:Articles in need of cleanup]]</nowiki>]]''' at the bottom of the page. If the article is very large, then it might be a good choice to mention of the article's talk page that it is in need of a cleanup and explain why. | |||
