Wikipedia:Template index/Splitting

Content split

When two or more topics are being dealt with on the same page which share the same or similar title and a disambiguation page seems appropriate use {{Split }}:

• Place the template at the top of the page for which the split is proposed.
• By default, the discussion is directed to the talk page of the page on which this tag is placed. Optionally, |discuss= can be added to direct the discussion to another page. Example: {{split|discuss=Talk:Foobar#Split proposal}}, produces:

• Optionally, you can include suggested titles for between 2 and 20 new pages as parameters. Example: {{split|New title 1|New title 2}}, produces:

• Add the date parameter |date=November 2025 to place articles in Category:Articles to be split from November 2025

Size split

When an article is too long, and it is uncertain how the article should be split, use {{Very long }}:

• When there is a suggested new article name for some content use {{Split }} with |New article name=:

• When an article series is proposed, use {{Split }} with multiple titles:

When a disambiguation page needs splitting use {{Split dab }}:

For sections, use:

• {{Split section }}

• {{Splitsections }} - can specify multiple destination articles

• {{Move portions }} - for migrating portions of a section

• {{Move section portions }} - for a less disruptive tag:

• {{Copied }} (for both source & destination) - {{Copied|from=|from_oldid=|to=|to_diff=|to_oldid=}}

• {{Split article }} (supporting multiple splits from the same page) - {{Split article|from=|from_oldid=|to=|diff=|date=}}
  Material from Foo was split out into Bar. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted so long as the latter page exists. Please leave this template in place to link the article histories and preserve this attribution. The former page's talk page can be accessed at Talk:Foo.
