This template has a date parameter. After an article has been initially tagged, and bearing in mind article evolution, a periodic script or bot[clarification needed] runs to clean up spellings, correct any new introductions since its last visit, and update the visit date on the {{EngvarB}} template.[clarification needed]
This is not a temporary cleanup-request template, and it should remain in an article, unless there is a valid reason to remove it. The most common valid reason is that the article uses a different language variant, so should use a different template (listed in the "See also" section below).
