- You can also place this tag at the start of the concerned section and adjust its text accordingly, such as:
{{Cleanup tense|section}}
- It takes the optional parameter
|tense=which can be used to explain what specific tense needs to be used, e.g.|tense=the past tense. The default value is "the past tense if historic, present tense if not time-based (e.g. fiction), or future tense if upcoming". The value of|tense=should complete the sentence "Please consider copy editing to use parameter value goes here." - It takes the optional parameter date, with the format date=month year, such as:
{{Cleanup tense|date=November 2026}}
- Please do not subst: this template.
