These should not produce any clean-up categories on this page, if the template works correctly.

Test of reason without |reason= edit

{{Cleanup|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet |date=May 2012}}

{{Cleanup}}

In the discussion, it was shown that flipping the unnamed parameter on a template that exists on many pages may not be a good idea. Here's an example:

{{Cleanup|disambiguation page |date=May 2012 |reason=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}}

{{Cleanup}}

{{Cleanup/sandbox}}

The real reason for cleanup will disappear, and the type of page, which is at present specified by the unnamed parameter, will become the reason!
