Template:Split

Template documentation

Description

Creates a banner noting that the page or section should be split and automatically categorizes the page into Category:Pages to be split.

Parameters

This template has no mandatory parameters, it is however good practice to always provide the "destination" and "reason" parameter.

"destination" parameter

You can and should provide the name of the page where parts of the page or section should be moved to (e.g. {{Split| destination = Processed food}}), however it is not always practical (e.g. when a superpage needs to be split into many subpages). It doesn't matter if the page exists already.

"destination2" parameter

When pages should be split into more than one page, allows the designation of another destination (e.g. {{Split| destination = Processed food| destination2 = Animal feed }})). It doesn't matter if the page exists already.

"reason" parameter

You should always provide an explanation why you think the page should be split and why to that particular destination - be it as obvious to you as it gets. This can be any text (e.g. {{Split| reason = Processed food is a more generic term for meals and other food. This page currently covers both.}}).

"section" parameter

Setting this parameter to any value (e.g. {{Split| section = 1}}) will change the message from "article" to "section".

"notoc" parameter

Setting this parameter to true (e.g. {{Split| nocat = true}}) suppresses adding the page to Category:Pages to be split.

Include this parameter when using the template for testing purposes, like on this page.

Examples

The template can be used with no arguments:

{{Split}}

producing: {{Rwbox

 | name  = move
 | type  = manual
 | color = #1e90ff
 | image = 
 | text  = This page is suggested to be split.  

As you can see the template complains if you don't provide a reason. You should therefore always provide one:

{{Split| destination = Meals | reason = Meals are a specific type of food that needs its own discussion| nocat = true}}

producing: {{Rwbox

 | name  = move
 | type  = manual
 | color = #1e90ff
 | image = 
 | text  = This page is suggested to be split. Destination: Meals . Reason: Meals are a specific type of food that needs its own discussion. 

A specific section can be designated for moving:

{{Split| destination = Meals | reason = This section should be its own page as well | section = 1 }}

producing: {{Rwbox

 | name  = move
 | type  = manual
 | color = #1e90ff
 | image = 
 | text  = This section is suggested to be split. Destination: Meals . Reason: This section should be its own page as well. 

Up to two destinations can be designated. This can be combined with section or not

{{Split| destination = Meals | destination2 = Kibble | reason = This section could be two whole pages by itself | section = 1 }}

producing: {{Rwbox

 | name  = move
 | type  = manual
 | color = #1e90ff
 | image = 
 | text  = This section is suggested to be split. Destination: Meals and Kibble. Reason: This section could be two whole pages by itself.
