Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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 content from another page be split and merged into it. The other page should typically use {{split portions}}, but may use {{split}} if applicable.

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.

{{Merge portions from|Other page 1|Other page 2|...}}

It is encouraged to be specific about which portions of the other page should be split. Use |portions= to replace the words "portions of" with more specific language.

{{Merge portions from|Other page|portions=material covering a certain subject}}

To indicate that a section should have portions of another page be split and merged into it, place this template at the top of the section and use |section=yes.

{{Merge portions from|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.

{{Merge portions from|Other page|reason=Subject deserves its own article}}

It is good practice specify the date of the split proposal using |date=.

{{Merge portions from|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.

{{Merge portions from|Other page|talk=Section title}}
