== Description ==
This template will add tagged articles to a cleanup category according to the month and year given.

== Usage ==

:<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Prose|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code> → [[:Category:Articles needing cleanup from {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}]] and [[:Category:Articles with sections that need to be turned into prose from {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}]].

If no date is given, articles will be added to the more general [[:Category:Wikipedia cleanup]] and [[:Category:Articles with sections that need to be turned into prose]].

Parameter 1 may be included to replace "article" with a specific term, such as "section" or "table". For example:
:<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Prose|section|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code>
...would display as:
{{Prose|section|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|demospace=main|nocat=true}}

== Closely related templates ==

Please keep this template's messaging consistent with the related templates:
* {{tlx|Create list}} – the opposite of this template
* {{tlx|Trivia}} – suggests relocation rather than reformatting of the details in a trivia section
* {{tlx|Expand list}} – for use where a list is too short/incomplete
* {{tlx|List to table}} – for use where a table would be better than a list
* {{tlx|Table to prose}} – for use where prose is preferable to a table
* {{tlx|Example farm}} – for articles or sections with too many examples
