Usage

The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste {{Cleanup higher education}} at the top of the article.

Optional parameters include:

• A parameter to change the word "article", for instance {{Cleanup higher education|section}} or {{Cleanup higher education|disambiguation page}}.

• Specific problems can be identified in the reason field.

Add a new section to the talk page explaining the type and extent of clean-up required so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this tag.

Alternative

This template is reserved primarily for articles with problems arising from not following WP:UNIGUIDE. It should be used when a more specific tag is not suitable.

If the problem is correctable with the skills you already possess, consider being bold and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this tag and leaving it for someone else to clean up.

• This template is a self-reference.
• Please do not subst: this template.
