Template:Split/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Split. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be split.
Usage
When two or more distinct topics which share the same or similar title are being written about on the same page, even if they are closely related, a content split may be considered, and a disambiguation page created (if necessary) to point readers to the separate pages.
- Parameters
If no parameters are used in the template (i.e., {{split}}
), it will display as above.
To suggest article names (or more than one), simply pipe them into the template. For example, {{split|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3}}
produces:
It has been suggested that this page be split into pages titled Article 1, Article 2 and Article 3, accessible from a disambiguation page. (May 2024) |
Up to 20 new names can be suggested. If only suggesting one article name, use {{split2}}
.
To indicate that only parts of the current article should be split (and therefore no disambiguation page is necessary), use part=yes
. For example, to prose a split of an article into two articles, using {{split|Article 1|Article 2|part=yes}}
produces:
It has been suggested that some portions of this page be split into pages titled Article 1 and Article 2. (May 2024) |
To add the year and month the template was added to the article, use date=May 2024
.
