This template uses Lua: |
This template will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be split.
Usage edit
When two or more distinct topics which share the same or similar title are being written about on the same page, a content split may be considered. Consideration must be given both to notability and to potential neutrality issues before proposing a split. If one or more of the topics is not notable it may be more appropriate to simply remove the material from Wikipedia than to create a new article.
- Parameters
If no parameters are used in the template (i.e., {{Split}}
), it will display as above.
- date
- To add the month and year the template was added to the article, add
|date=October 2024
. This will be added automatically at some point by a bot if you omit it.
- unnamed parameters for article titles
- To suggest an article name (or more than one), simply pipe them into the template (or number them
|1=
,|2=
, etc.). For example,{{split|Article 1|date=October 2024}}
produces:It has been suggested that this page should be split into a new page titled Template:Pagelist. (discuss) (October 2024) - Multiple:
{{Split|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3|date=October 2024}}
produces:It has been suggested that this page should be split into pages titled Template:Pagelist. (discuss) (October 2024) - Up to 20 new names can be suggested.
- discuss
- To specify where the discussion about this split is taking place, use
|discuss=
, as in{{split|Article 1|date=October 2024|discuss=Talk:Article name#Talk page section}}
, which produces:It has been suggested that this page should be split into a new page titled Template:Pagelist. (discuss) (October 2024)
- section
- To replace the word "article" (or "page", outside of mainspace), use
|section=y
to display "section", or use something more specific, as in{{split|Article 1|date=October 2024|section=list}}
, which produces:It has been suggested that this list should be split into a new page titled Template:Pagelist. (discuss) (October 2024)
