Why recycling?
On Miraheze, the process of creating and writing an article tends to take place as follows (the description is hardly caricatured because, alas, very often found ...):
 * a first user creates a draft, with an elementary definition of the term;
 * a second user comes to add material;
 * a third contributor adds arguments here and there;
 * a fourth adds information that would be more appropriate in another article;
 * a fifth comes vandalize;
 * a sixth restores the  correct version;
 * a seventh corrects the English faults;
 * an eighth user adds the Categories;
 * a ninth user adds information in a new section at the end, not knowing where to place it ...

And finally, instead of a "ideal" article, we get an article with a lot of information that is piled up in a mess, is incomplete and sometimes incomprehensible! An article can also be in very poor condition when new contributors who have a poor command of the tool embark directly on the creation or transformation of articles, while omitting some Wikipedian standards.

Under these conditions, the "recycling" banner aims to alert readers and editors of the articles for which we could expect a more correct presentation. It should be noted that recycling an article is not necessarily difficult, and that this operation greatly improves the quality and understanding of the article.

When and how to affix the recycling banner?
To indicate that recycling of an article or section is necessary, you must affix the overlinking template at the head of the article or section concerned. When the points for improvement are not easily identifiable, the user who affixes this banner must state them on the discussion page. The model gives the following rendering (note: for advanced use (placing of the article in a specific recycling category), see the page Template:Overlinking.

This banner should be placed when it is considered that an article, although having a correct background and shape, is based on an unbalanced plan or if its sections are not linked logically. The banner can also be used when the article contains the same information more than once.

As with all banners, the best thing to do is to recycle yourself. The strip can therefore be installed:
 * when there is no time to do it immediately;
 * when it is preferable that recycling is carried out by a specialist in the subject of the article.

For minor writing cases (turn of sentences, etc.), the Reduction template should preferably be used.

How to recycle an item?
The first essential step is to divide the content of the article into sections, choosing appropriate section titles, consistent, and without internal link. As much as possible, articles should be structured consistently; the information must be presented clearly and as synthetically as possible, grouped by subject to avoid duplication. Someone looking for specific information should be able to find it quickly by reading the appropriate section. In general, this means that the organization and plan of the article to be recycled, and therefore also its drafting, must be thoroughly reviewed.

On the other hand, within each section, the text, often written initially in the form of scattered sentences, must be reorganized into paragraphs of a few lines, ensuring a logical sequence and consistency between the sentences.

When the article or one of its sections develops too long a point which is not in the heart of the treated subject, it is advisable to make a synthesis and to transfer the old contents in more appropriate articles. In case of transfer, it is imperative to follow a procedure: Help:Split.

If the article still poses problems, appropriate banners can be placed at the head of the article.
