For use on main page

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=ਮਈ 2025 to place articles in Category:Articles to be split from ਮਈ 2025

Size split

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

For use on talk page

• {{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=}} ਫਰਮਾ:Split article

During and after splitting

• {{Being split}} - {{Being split|Destination}}

• {{Cleanup split}} - {{Cleanup split|Destination}}
