-=== How to use ===
+== Parameters ==
-To use this template, place <code><nowiki>{{Citation style|</nowiki>date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> on the article page or talk page in a location that may aid in conveying the message of the template. This template may be used within {{tl|Multiple issues}} and placement of this template on the article page is guided by [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup|Template messages/Cleanup]]. The following parameters may be specified for this template:
+All parameters are optional:
+* '''{{para|1|section}}''' – set to {{pval|section}} to indicate that the template applies to just the section where it is placed. By default, the template is placed at the to and applies to the entire article. Any word may be used, e.g., {{para|1|paragraph}}, {{para|1|table}}, and so on.
+* '''{{para|reason}}''' may be used to provide more details on some of the aspects that should be addressed for the given article. Alias: {{para|details}}.
+* '''{{para|date}}''' – add Month, year; for example: {{pval|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}. This helps auto-categorization of the article into a subcategory of [[:Category:Wikipedia references cleanup]]. A bot will add it, if you forget.
-* '''{{para|date}}''' should preferably be used to categorize the article in a subcategory of [[:Category:Wikipedia references cleanup]]. This helps with addressing aged cleanup messages. (e.g., <code><nowiki>{{Citation style|</nowiki>date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>.)
+* '''{{para|small|left}}''' – add this to reduce the banner to a small, flush-left box. Other values (such as 'no', 'yes', 'right') are invalid, and will not work as expected.
-* '''{{para|details}}''' may be used to provide more details on some of the aspects that should be addressed for the given article. (e.g., <code><nowiki>{{Citation
-style|</nowiki>date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|details=In particular, citation titles should be specified<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>)
-* '''{{para|}}''' A first unnamed parameter may be used to specify whether the template applies to the entire article or a section of the article (e.g., <code><nowiki>{{Citation style|section|</nowiki>date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. If not specified, the first unnamed parameter defaults to "article."
-=== Operation ===
+== Categorization ==
 This template will categorise tagged articles into [[:Category:Wikipedia references cleanup]] and [[:Category:Articles covered by WikiProject Wikify]].
