[[Category:Template documentation pages{{#translation:}}]]

Description

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

Usage

{{Too many list sections|date=May 2025}} → Category:Articles needing cleanup from May 2025 and Category:Articles with sections that need to be turned into prose from May 2025.

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.

Also parameter 1 may be included to replace "article" with a specific term, such as "section" or "table". For example:

{{Too many list sections|section|date=May 2025}}
