This template is used to identify articles which, while comprehensible, contain excessive detail on trivial subjects and need to be refocused to suit a more general audience.

== Usage ==
;Full page
:<code><nowiki>{{Overly detailed|details=|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code>
;Section
:<code><nowiki>{{Overly detailed|section|details=|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code>
;Suppress recommendation to split
:<code><nowiki>{{Overly detailed|section|nosplit=1|details=|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code>
:<code><nowiki>{{Overly detailed|nosplit=1|details=|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code>

'''Date''', '''section''', '''nosplit''', and '''details''' are all optional.

The "section" attribute, if included, customises the wording to apply only to a section of an article. The word "section" should be used as is, and not replaced with the name of the section.

The "nosplit" parameter, if set, removes the phrase <code>[[Wikipedia:Content forking#Article_spinoffs: .22Summary style.22 meta-articles and summary sections|spinning off]] or [[Wikipedia:Handling trivia#Recommendations for handling trivia|relocating]] any relevant information, and</code> from the template. This is useful when details need to be removed altogether, not split off or moved elsewhere.

The "details" parameter, if set, can be used to customize the message.

This template should '''not''' be [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|subst'ed]].

== Notes ==
This template will add tagged articles to [[:Category:Wikipedia articles that are excessively detailed]], dated subcategories of [[:Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues by month]] and to [[:Category:All articles with style issues]].
