 | This template uses Lua: |
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, 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=September 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=September 2024))produces: - Multiple:
((Split|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3|date=September 2024))produces: - 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=September 2024|discuss=Talk:Article name#Talk page section)), which produces:
- section
- To replace the word "article" (or "page", outside of mainspace), use
|section=yto display "section", or use something more specific, as in((split|Article 1|date=September 2024|section=list)), which produces:
