Editing Template:Split portions/doc (section)

===For sections only===

If portions of one section need to be split out, use {{tlx|Split portions}} at the top of that section, and use the {{para|section|y}} parameter: {{tlx|Split portions |'''section{{=}}y'''&nbsp;|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}&nbsp;|{{var|Title to which to relocate the content}}}}. This will change the wording to "portions of this section". This can be done at two or more places in the article to suggest multiple specific splits, instead of a more vague multi-split template at the top of the article.
{{Split portions |section=y |date=November 2015 |Title to which to relocate the content|demopage=y}}

If portions of several subsections of a single section need to relocate, leaving the rest of the section in place, you can put the template at the top of that section, and use the {{para|subsections|y}} parameter (or {{para|section|y}}{{para|sections|y}}, which has the same effect): {{tlx|Split portions |'''subsections{{=}}y'''&nbsp;|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}&nbsp;|{{var|Title to which to relocate the content}}}}. This will change the wording to "subsections of this section". However, if will probably be more helpful to use {{para|section}}, and use a separate template in each of the subsections to be split.
{{Split portions |subsections=y |date=November 2015 |Title to which to relocate the content|demopage=y}}

If a whole section needs to be split, to only one new page, you can use {{tl|Split section}} instead, at the top of the section: {{tlx|Split section |date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}&nbsp;|{{var|Title to which to relocate the content}}}}. This template only supports one target title parameter.
{{Split section |date=November 2015 |Title to which to relocate the content|demopage=y}}

If a proposed section split (whole or partial) is to more than one page, use: {{tlx|Split portions |'''portion{{=}}this section'''&nbsp;|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}&nbsp;|{{var|First title to which to relocate the content}}&nbsp;|{{var|Second title to which to relocate the content}}}}
{{Split portions |portion=this section |date=November 2015 |First title to which to relocate the content |Second title to which to relocate the content|demopage=y}}

If multiple sections or portions thereof need to be split out, you can put the template at the top of the page, and use the {{para|sections|y}} parameter: {{tlx|Split portions |'''sections{{=}}y'''&nbsp;|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}&nbsp;|{{var|Title to which to relocate the content}}}}. This will change the wording to "sections of this article" (or "sections of this page", in other namespaces).
{{Split portions |sections=y |date=November 2015 |Title to which to relocate the content|demopage=y}}
{{em|This is usually the least desirable option}} because of its vagueness, and it will probably be more helpful to tag each of the subsections to be split, with either {{tlx|Split portions |section{{y}} |...}} (partial) or {{tlx|Split section |...}} (whole section).

The {{para|sections}} and {{para|subsections}} options will, when used in mainspace, also categorize the split-from article into the proper dated subcategory of [[:Category:Article sections to be split]].
