Template:Split and dab/doc

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 content split may be considered, and a disambiguation page created to point readers to the separate pages. Consideration must be given both to notability and to potential 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., ), it will display as above.

To suggest article names (or more than one), simply pipe them into the template. For example, produces:

Up to 20 new names can be suggested. If only suggesting one article name, use.

To indicate that only parts of the current article should be split (and therefore no disambiguation page is necessary), use. For example, to prose a split of an article into two articles, using produces:

To add the year and month the template was added to the article, use.

To specify where the discussion about this split is taking place, use.

Examples
