Rename per CfD, replaced: to be split → proposed for splitting (4)

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{Wikipedia:Article alerts/Bot use warning}}


== Usage ==

{{tlx|Split section|{{var|Title to which to split}} |discuss{{=}}<nowiki>{{subst:TALKPAGENAME}}</nowiki>#Split proposed |date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

The first parameter represents the title for the proposed new page, and {{para|discuss}} provides a link to the discussion thread on the talk page of the article proposed for splitting (it can be named explicitly or you can use the <code><nowiki>{{subst:TALKPAGENAME}}</nowiki></code> [[WP:MAGICWORD|"magic word"]]; {{para|discuss|Talk:<nowiki>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</nowiki>#Split proposed}} would also work). The example above produces:

{{Split section |Title to which to split |discuss={{TALKPAGENAME}}#Split proposed |date=November 2015|demospace=y}}

Of course, the page "[[Title]]" already exists, but your actual page title will most likely be either a [[WP:REDLINK|red link]] or a [[WP:RDR|redirect]].

If more than one target article needs to be named, use the more robust template {{tl|Split portions}}:
* {{tlx|Split portions|portion{{=}}this section |{{var|First title to which to split}} |{{var|Second title to which to split}} |discuss{{=}}<nowiki>{{subst:TALKPAGENAME}}</nowiki>#Split proposed |date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} (supports up to 20 titles).
{{Split portions |portion=this section |First title to which to split |Second title to which to split |discuss={{TALKPAGENAME}}#Split proposed |date=November 2015|demopage=y}}

This template will add tagged articles to [[:Category:All articles proposed for splitting]], the proper dated subcategory of [[:Category:Article sections proposed for splitting]], and the proper dated subcategory of [[:Category:Articles proposed for splitting]].
