{{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}}}}
