You must add a |reason= parameter to this Cleanup template – replace it with {{Cleanup|reason=<Fill reason here>}}, or remove the Cleanup template.

This is a list of countries and territories, with the plugs, voltages and frequencies they use.

It is designed to complement Mains power plug. See that article for definition of terms, full information on each plug, a travellers' guide, and more.
