This template is used to recommend that a disambiguation page ("dab") be split into two or more such pages. ((Split dab)) is a customized call to ((Split)), and uses the same syntax (as of October 2015).
Usage[edit]
Apply to the top of the disambiguation page in question.
- Minimum syntax:
((Split dab)) - Preferred syntax:
((Split dab|Page 1|Page 2))(include the present dab page as the first parameter if it would still exist after the split).
Use of the template places the article into Category:Disambiguation pages in need of being split, which is a child of Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup. The meta-template this template calls also categorizes in Category:Articles to be split and its dated subcategory.
Splitting[edit]
- ((Split))
- ((Split dab))
- ((Split section))
- ((Split sections))
- ((Split portions))
- ((Split section portions))
- ((Merge portions from))
- ((Very long))
Notes[edit]
This template originates from discussions between Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation and Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy regarding whether and when to split one-name content (lists of people sharing surname or given name) from disambiguation pages or not. See for instance Category talk:Disambiguation pages in need of being split.
