If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, change scope, or nominate it for deletion or deprecation, please notify the Article Alerts project at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts as a courtesy, as this page is used by the AAlertBot bot to detect and report pages. Thank you!

Usage

{{Split section|Title to which to split |discuss={{TALKPAGENAME}}#Split proposed |date=July 2024}}

The first parameter represents the title for the proposed new page, and |discuss= provides a link to the discussion thread on the talk page of the article proposed to be split (it can be named explicitly or you can use the {{TALKPAGENAME}} "magic word"; |discuss=Talk:{{PAGENAME}}#Split proposed would also work). The example above produces:

It has been suggested that this section be split into a new page titled Title to which to split . (Discuss) Proposed since November 2015.

Of course, the page "Title" already exists, but your actual page title will most likely be either a red link or a redirect.

If more than one target article needs to be named, use the more robust template {{Split portions}}:

{{Split portions|portion=this section |First title to which to split |Second title to which to split |discuss={{TALKPAGENAME}}#Split proposed |date=July 2024}} (supports up to 20 titles).

This template will add tagged articles to Category:All articles to be split, the proper dated subcategory of Category:Article sections to be split, and the proper dated subcategory of Category:Articles to be split.
