Template:Cleanup split
Usage
[edit ]Place this at the top of a section that has grown too large and has been split but not yet summarized. It can also be placed at the top of a new article that is the result of a split, if the article still needs post-split cleanup such as a proper lead section, link and citation repair, etc.
For example, {{Cleanup split|Megabat}} produces:
Parameters
