Template:Split/doc

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 should always provide the name of the page where parts of the page or section should be moved to (e.g. {{Split| destination = Processed food}})). 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:

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

{{Split| destination = Processed food | reason = Processed food is a more generic term for meals and other food. This page currently covers both.}}

producing:

A specific section can be designated for moving:

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

producing:
