[[Project:Template index|Template index]] / Splitting
=== For use on main page ===
 
;Content split
Notices for dividing an article into separate topics.
When '''two or more topics''' are being dealt with on the same page which share the same or similar title and a [[Project:Template index/General|disambiguation page]] seems appropriate use {{tl|Split}}:
{{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, {{para|discuss}} can be added to direct the discussion to another page. Example: {{tlx|split|discuss{{=}}Talk:{{var|Foobar}}#Split proposal}}, produces:
{{split|discuss=Talk:Foobar#Split proposal}}
* Optionally, you can include suggested titles for between 2 and 20 new pages as parameters. Example: {{tlx|split|{{var|New title 1}}|{{var|New title 2}}}}, produces:
{{split|New title 1|New title 2}}
* Add the date parameter {{para|date|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} to place articles in [[:Category:Articles to be split from {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}]]
 
;Size split
Explain the intended scope and suggested titles on the article talk page. Keep useful links between the resulting pages and preserve the origin of copied material.
When an article is too long, and it is uncertain how the article should be split, use {{tl|Very long}}:
{{Very long}}
*When there is a suggested new article name for some content use {{tl|Split}} with {{para|{{var|New article name}}}}:
{{Split|New article name}}
*When an article series is proposed, use {{tl|Split}} with multiple titles:
{{Split|List of subject, A–M|List of subject , N–Z}}
{{Split|Subject in Africa|Subject in the Americas|Subject in Asia and the Pacific|Subject in Europe}}
 
When '''a disambiguation page''' needs splitting use {{tl|Split dab}}:
== Local templates ==
{{Split dab}}
Open a template page for its parameters and examples. These links identify existing local templates; their inclusion does not certify every imported behaviour.
 
For '''sections''', use:
* [[:Template:Split|Split]] - <code><nowiki>{{Split}}</nowiki></code>
* [[:Template:Split section|Split section]] - <code><nowiki>{{Split section}}</nowiki></code>
* [[:Template:Split portions|Split portions]] - <code><nowiki>{{Split portions}}</nowiki></code>
 
* {{tl|Split section}}
== Additional catalogue entries ==
{{Split section}}
Additional local templates linked from this subject catalogue. Check their documentation and wording before use.
* {{tl|Splitsections}} - can specify multiple destination articles
{{Splitsections}}
* {{tl|Move portions}} - for migrating portions of a section
{{Move portions}}
* {{tl|Move section portions}} - for a less disruptive tag:
{{Move section portions}}
 
=== For use on talk page ===
* [[:Template:Being split|Being split]]
* {{tl|Copied}} (for both source &amp; destination) - {{tlx|Copied|from{{=}} |from_oldid{{=}} |to{{=}} |to_diff{{=}} |to_oldid{{=}}}}
* [[:Template:Cleanup split|cleanup split]]
{{Copied|from=Foo|to=Bar}}
* [[:Template:Cleanup split|Cleanup split]]
* {{tl|Split article}} (supporting multiple splits from the same page) - {{tlx|Split article|from{{=}} |from_oldid{{=}} |to{{=}} |diff{{=}} |date{{=}} }} {{Split article|demo=yes|from=Foo|to=Bar}}
* [[:Template:Copied|Copied]]
* [[:Template:Move portions|Move portions]]
* [[:Template:Move section portions|Move section portions]]
* [[:Template:Split article|Split article]]
* [[:Template:Split dab|Split dab]]
* [[:Template:Split dab|split dab]]
* [[:Template:Split sections|split sections]]
* [[:Template:Splitsections|Splitsections]]
* [[:Template:Sub-sections|sub-sections]]
* [[:Template:Very long|Very long]]
 
=== During and after splitting ===
== Before saving ==
* {{tl|Being split}} - {{tlx|Being split|{{var|Destination}}}}
* Preview the result and check any required parameters.
{{supcat{{Being split|Destination}}}}
* Use local page titles and links.
* {{tl|Cleanup split}} - {{tlx|Cleanup split|{{var|Destination}}}}
* Explain a maintenance notice on the relevant talk page when needed.
{{Cleanup split|Destination}}
* Do not copy example text that asserts a process or permission that does not exist here.
