It has been suggested that portions of this template be split into another template.
Proposed since October 12, 2024
This template displays a notice that the page or section it appears on is the subject of a split proposal.
Usage
This template should be placed at the top of a page or section when it is suggested that portions of it should be split into one or more other pages. If they already exist, the other pages should use {{merge portions from}}.
The page this template appears on will automatically be added to Category:Proposed splits.
The names of up to ten other pages can be given using the first through the tenth unnamed parameters.
{{Split portions|Other page 1|Other page 2|...}}
It is encouraged to be specific about which portions should be split. Use |portions=
to replace the word "portions" with more specific language.
{{Split portions|Other page|portions=material covering a certain subject}}
To indicate that portions of a section should be split into another page, place this template at the top of the section and use |section=yes
.
{{Split portions|Other page|section=yes}}
A reason for the split proposal can be given using |reason=
. It is not required, but it can be used to provide context at a glance.
{{Split portions|Other page|reason=Subject deserves its own article}}
It is good practice specify the date of the split proposal using |date=
.
{{Split portions|Other page|date=June 26, 2021}}
Use |talk=
to display a link to where the split proposal is discussed. To link to a section on the page's own talk page, use |talk=Section title
. To link to a section on another talk page, use |talk=Talk:Other page#Section title
.
{{Split portions|Other page|talk=Section title}}
