Template:Very long/doc

See Article size for more information on this topic.

Usage
Add to the top of the article, below any hatnotes.

generates the following smaller-sized template, a left-size box instead of a banner (which is usually only of use with section, below):
 * parameter

If just a particular section of an article is getting long, it can be tagged by adding the section parameter, or using the template variant:
 * Section-specific use

and both render:

The readable prose size in kilobytes, calculated with the help of tools like Prosesize or Shubinator's DYK tool, can be added manually to the template: generates the following template:
 * Readable prose size

Adding yes (or any other value for that parameter, such as y or true ) will suppress mention of splitting the material to new sub-articles, since not all content is suitable for splitting (usually because it would fail WP:Notability as a stand-alone article).
 * parameter

This template adds tagged articles to Category:Articles that may be too long, or one of its dated subcategories.
 * Categorization
