These templates are used for splitting articles by using ({{Split}}, {{Split section}}, etc.
For use on main page[edit]
- Content split
When two or more topics are being dealt with on the same page which share the same or similar title and a disambiguation page seems appropriate use {{Split}}:
![]() |
- Place the template at the top of the page for which the split is proposed.
- By default, the discussion is directed to the talk page of the page on which this tag is placed. Optionally,
|discuss=
can be added to direct the discussion to another page. Example:{{split|discuss=Talk:Foobar#Split proposal}}
, produces:
![]() |
- Optionally, you can include suggested titles for between 2 and 20 new pages as parameters. Example:
{{split|New title 1|New title 2}}
, produces:
![]() | It has been suggested that this page should be split into pages titled New title 1 and New title 2. (discuss) |
- Add the date parameter
|date=May 2022
to place articles in Category:Articles to be split from May 2022
- Size split
When an article is too long, and it is uncertain how the article should be split, use {{Very long}}:
![]() | This page may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. |
- When there is a suggested new article name for some content use {{Split}} with
|New article name=
:
![]() | It has been suggested that this page should be split into a new page titled New article name. (discuss) |
- When an article series is proposed, use {{Split}} with multiple titles:
![]() | It has been suggested that this page should be split into pages titled List of subject, A–M and List of subject , N–Z. (discuss) |
![]() | It has been suggested that this page should be split into pages titled Subject in Africa, Subject in the Americas, Subject in Asia and the Pacific and Subject in Europe. (discuss) |
When a disambiguation page needs splitting use {{Split dab}}:
![]() |
For sections, use:
- {{Split section}}
![]() |
- {{Splitsections}} - can specify multiple destination articles
![]() |
- {{Move portions}} - for migrating portions of a section
![]() |
- {{Move section portions}} - for a less disruptive tag:
![]() |
For use on talk page[edit]
![]() | Text and/or other creative content from [[]] was copied or moved into [[]]. The former page's [ history] now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted so long as the latter page exists. |
- {{Split article}} (supporting multiple splits from the same page) -
{{Split article|from=|from_oldid=|to=|diff=|date=}}
Material from a page; NOTE: please specify |from=pagename
when using this template was split to another page; NOTE: please specify|to=pagename
when using this template on date of split missing. The former page's [{{fullurl:{{{from}}}|action=history}} history] now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted so long as the latter page exists. Please leave this template in place to link the article histories and preserve this attribution. The former page's talk page can be accessed at [[]].
After splitting[edit]
- {{Cleanup split}} -
{{Cleanup split|Destination}}
![]() | This article or section may need to be cleaned up or summarized because it has been split from/to Destination. |
