Some of the Metal Gear 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, having 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 {{cleanup}}. Doing so will create this template at the top of the page:
|
| This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. Please edit this page to improve it. Feel free to discuss this cleanup on the article's talk page. |
You can also add the page to the cleanup category by adding [[Category:Cleanup]] 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.
