Improve lead/doc

[purge]

This is the documentation page. It should be transcluded into the main template page. See Template:Documentation for more information

This template should be used on pages that have an insufficient lead section that not summarizes correctly the article's content or doesn't have a lead section. It is preferable to use it on articles that have a clutttered lead section, as it is rare to see an article without one.

To mark cluttered articles in general, use {{cleanup}}, and to mark articles that need rewriting, use {{rewrite}}.

Usage

{{improve lead|nocat=Optional category remover}}

• The nocat parameter prevents the template to categorize pages into Category:Introduction cleanup.
