Cleanup template already has a 'reason' parameter, it's just labeled as "Describe issues to be addressed: "

Huh; cool :). I'll go poke the reporter.

Can we insist it be used in some way?

What do you mean?

So, if someone selects the cleanup template, can we insist that they use the "reason" parameter before letting them proceed? Otherwise there's a hideous wall of red text.

okay, I see. You want to make it a required parameter

"reason" parameter is used in a couple of other tags ( expert, wikify etc). Do we want to make it required across other tags or just cleanup?

en.wp does AFAIK require it for other tags in the same way.
