This meta-template can be used to create '''in-line tags''' with clean up messages which can be used to tag article issues on a line-by-line basis. Many templates are based upon it, like {{Tl|Citation needed}}.

It should '''not''' be used directly on articles by itself — instead, use one of the pre-existing derivatives if at all possible. Should there be no suitable derivative already, new ones can be created using the syntax that follows:

== Usage ==

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: auto">
{{Fix
| subst = <includeonly>{{subst:substcheck}}</includeonly>
| link =  (default = Wikipedia:Cleanup)
| text = 
| pre-text = 
| post-text = 
| class =  (in addition to the default ones, "noprint" and "Inline-Template")
| title = 
| special = 
| date = 
| cat = [[]]
| cat-date = 
}}</syntaxhighlight>

Categories are ignored if the template is used on a talk page or on any other non-article page.

* The value specified via <code>|cat=</code> must be in wikicode, {{em|including square brackets}}.

* The value specified via <code>|cat-date=</code> is used as part of a category name. It must be specified {{em|without}} square brackets, but {{em|with}} a "Category:" prefix. The full category name is obtained from the cat-date value, the word "from", and the date value.
: For example, given <code>|cat-date=Category:Articles with dead external links |date={{#time:F Y}}</code>, the article will be placed in [[:Category:Articles with dead external links from {{#time:F Y}}]].
: The {{para|date}} parameter is {{em|not}} normally pre-filled by any template using {{tlx|Fix}} or {{tlx|Fix-span}} as a meta-template; rather, it is coded in those derived templates as <code><nowiki>|date={{{date|}}}</nowiki></code> so that an editor provided date is passed through (or null, otherwise).
