==When to use==
This tag identifies articles that will need extensive review because they appear to have been generated, even if only in part, using an [[WikipediaProject:LargeEditorial language modelsguidance|large language model]]. It will add articles to dated subcategories of [[:Category:Articles containing suspected AI-generated texts]].
 
Such models often produce pages that have many issues, including but not limited to [[WPProject:COPYVIOCopyrights|copyright violations]], [[WPProject:close paraphrasingCopyrights|close paraphrasing]] from copyrighted sources (or from [[WPProject:CIRCULAREditorial guidance|Wikipedia itself]]), factual errors, formatting issues, and fictitious but plausible-seeming references. Additionally, the prose itself may be [[WPProject:AISIGNSTalk page guidelines|stilted, promotional, or occasionally ludicrous]]. If you see these signs, consider applying this tag.
 
=== Alternatives ===
Line 17:
Pages that are proven to be in violation of copyright should be nominated for deletion using {{tl|Db-copyvio}}. Pages that are patent nonsense should be nominated for deletion using {{tl|Db-nonsense}}. Pages that are entirely LLM-generated with no plausible human review should either be fixed or nominated for deletion using {{tl|Db-llm}}. Pages that are presumed to be LLM-generated due to coinciding in timing and pattern with contributions by the same user which has been determined to be LLM-generated should be tagged with {{tl|Prod llm}}.
 
Pages that are incomprehensible or have other major issues should be sent to the appropriate [[WPProject:XFDDeletion policy|deletion discussion]] page.
 
If problems are correctable with the skills you already possess, consider being [[WPProject:boldConsensus|bold]] and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this template and leaving it for someone else to clean up.
 
If you feel that an article needs a significant amount of cleanup, you can post it to the [[WikipediaProject:AINBEditorial guidance|AI noticeboard]]. Editors will give your submitted article a cleanup and fix any problems associated with it.
 
== How to use ==
Place {{Tlx|AI-generated|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} at the top of the disputed article, then '''explain your reasons on the page's [[WPProject:TPTemplate documentation|talk page]].''' If the date is not included it will likely be added later by a [[WPProject:BOTEditorial guidance|bot]]. You can [[Help:Substitution|substitute]] the template to automatically fill the date parameter by doing {{tlxs|AI-generated}}.
 
Optional parameters include:
Line 31:
* {{para|section}}: any value changes the default descriptor (i.e., "article") to "section".
* {{para|partial}}: Changes the wording to "Parts of this article", as opposed to "This article", to indicate edits that are not confined to a single section but do not involve the whole article.
* {{para|reason}}: explanation of why you tagged this article (e.g., "See {{fakelink|WikipediaProject:WikiProject AI Cleanup/Noticeboard/2026-01-01 User:ExampleDispute}}" or "99% rating at example-detector.com")
* {{para|certain}}: changes the wording to "incorporates text", as opposed to "may incorporate text".

== When to remove ==
As is the case for most maintenance tags, this should only be removed once the problems are undetectable or demonstrably non-existent.
 
To that end, when this tag is applied to an article in good faith, it should ideally only be removed once every word and fact potentially affected has been reviewed. LLMs are capable of expert-like speech, fraudulent or mischaracterized sources and misleading material, and that may extend beyond even what the original editor noticed when adding this tag. When the problem is especially pervasive in an article, consider this tag a specialization of [[Template:Cleanup rewrite]], although remember that the speedy deletion criterion [[WikipediaProject:Editorial guidance|G15]] may apply.
 
When applied to a section, only the words and facts of the section need to be reviewed for resolution. As well, if all affected material is easily detectable and removed without thorough review of the entire article, that too may merit the removal of this tag.
