Template:Split/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. 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.


 * date
 * To add the month and year the template was added to the article, add August 2024. This will be added automatically at some point by a bot if you omit it.


 * unnamed parameters for article titles
 * To suggest an article name (or more than one), simply pipe them into the template (or number them 1, 2, etc.). For example, produces:
 * Multiple: produces:
 * Up to 20 new names can be suggested.


 * discuss
