This template is used to recommend that a disambiguation page ("dab") be split into two or more such pages. {{Split dab}} is a customized call to {{Split}}, and uses the same syntax (as of October 2015).
Usage[edit]
Apply to the top of the disambiguation page in question.
- Minimum syntax:
{{Split dab}} - Preferred syntax:
{{Split dab|Page 1|Page 2}}(include the present dab page as the first parameter if it would still exist after the split).
Use of the template places the article into Category:Disambiguation pages in need of being split, which is a child of Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup. The meta-template this template calls also categorizes in Category:Articles to be split and its dated subcategory.
Splitting[edit]
- {{Split}}
- {{Split dab}}
- {{Split section}}
- {{Split sections}}
- {{Split portions}}
- {{Split section portions}}
- {{Section move from}}
- {{Very long}}
Notes[edit]
This template originates from discussions between Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation and Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy regarding whether and when to split one-name content (lists of people sharing surname or given name) from disambiguation pages or not. See for instance Category talk:Disambiguation pages in need of being split.
