<noinclude>{{pp-template|small=yes}}</noinclude>{{Documentation subpage}} <!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. --> {{lua|Module:Unsubst}} 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 [[WP:CONSPLIT|content split]] may be considered, and a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation page]] created to point readers to the separate pages. Consideration must be given both to notability and to potential [[WP:POVFORK|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., {{tlx|split}}), it will display as above. To suggest article names (or more than one), simply pipe them into the template. For example, {{tlx|split|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3}} produces: {{Split|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3}} Up to 20 new names can be suggested. If only suggesting one article name, use {{tlx|split2}}. To indicate that only parts of the current article should be split (and therefore no disambiguation page is necessary), use <code>part=yes</code>. For example, to prose a split of an article into two articles, using {{tlx|split|Article 1|Article 2|part{{=}}yes}} produces: {{split|Article 1|Article 2|part=yes}} To add the year and month the template was added to the article, use <code>date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}</code>. To specify where the discussion about this split is taking place, use <code>discuss=Talk:Article name#Talk page section</code>. === Examples === A full example, directing discussion to the talk page of article proposed to be split, uses the code {{tlx|split|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3|part{{=}}yes|discuss{{=}}Talk:<nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>#Split|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} which produces: {{split|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3|part=yes|discuss=Talk:{{PAGENAME}}#Split|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} {{Wikipedia:Template messages/Splitting/List}} === See also === * {{tl|cleanup split}} * {{tl|split article}} <includeonly> <!-- ++++ PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS BELOW THIS LINE, THANK YOU. --> [[Category:Split maintenance templates]] </includeonly>
