== Usage ==
* {{tlx|local|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
* {{tlx|local |community{{=}}<nowiki>[[</nowiki>{{var|Community name here}}<nowiki>]]</nowiki>&#32;|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

===Optional parameters===
* '''{{para|date|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}''' &nbsp; Please help with the categorization of articles for cleanup by using this parameter. You can use {{para|date|<nowiki>{{subst:DATE}}</nowiki>}} as a shorthand to enter this parameter. Articles tagged with this template without the parameter will eventually be given the parameter by a [[Wikipedia:Bots|bot]], but it may not reflect the correct month of tagging.
* '''{{para|community|y}}''' &nbsp; name of the town, city, etc., to which this pertains. Should usually be wikilinked, e.g. {{para|community|<nowiki>[[Madison, Wisconsin]]</nowiki>}}.
* '''{{para|category}}''' A more specific subcategory of the default, [[:Category:Places of local interest needing cleanup]]. It must be wikilinked [which is pointless; this template should be fixed to not require this, and cases of this parameter being used fixed to not manually link this way].  You can also use {{para|category|no}} to suppress category usage, e.g. when using the template as an example.
* '''{{para|section}}''' &nbsp; a.k.a. '''{{para|sect}}''' &nbsp; If given a positive value (<kbd>y</kbd>, <kbd>yes</kbd>, <kbd>1</kbd>, <kbd>true</kbd>), will change "This article" to "This section". If given some other value, will change it to use that value, e.g. "This table", "This list".
** '''{{para|1}}''' &nbsp; The second of those uses can also be done as the first unnamed or numbered parameter: {{tnull|reduce trivia|section}} or {{tnull|reduce trivia|1{{=}}timeline|2{{=}}History of burritos}}
* '''{{para|small|y}}''' &nbsp; If given a positive value (<kbd>y</kbd>, <kbd>yes</kbd>, <kbd>1</kbd>, <kbd>true</kbd>), makes the template into a smaller box, instead of a banner. Requires explicit definition of the template as applying not to the entire article: {{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|sect{{=}}y|small{{=}}y}} or {{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|table|small{{=}}yes}} or {{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|section{{=}}"popular restaurants" material|small{{=}}1}}

== Categorization ==
Articles using this template will be added to the category "[[:Category:Places of local interest needing cleanup|Places of local interest needing cleanup]]" by default.  You can override this with the ''category'' parameter.

Please refer to the [[:Category:Wikipedia_maintenance_templates|list of cleanup templates]] and apply the ''best'' template available for your purpose.  This will help reduce confusion when other editors attempt to improve the article.

=== Tracking categories ===
* {{clc|Places of local interest needing cleanup}}
