Was created to help those who wish to refine the use of the {{Cleanup}} template by adding a reason field, or, if they wish putting a better tag or, ideally, cleaning the article. It is not meant to enable a mass purging of the tag, contrary to consensus. Rich Farmbrough, 17:58, 21 February 2012 (UTC).
- Since the cleanup tag now requires a reason, I have purged all the tags from July 2007 or sooner; these things really need a seven-year statue of limitations.

- The consensus to make a reason mandatory is here: Template_talk:Cleanup/Archive_6#Should_the_reason_parameter_be_made_mandatory This is from a couple months after Rich's comment, so his comment no longer applies. Samboy (talk) 17:14, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
