Usage
[edit]{{Being split|spacetype=article/template/section|discuss=Talk:Article#Some discussion|target=Some article to be split into|nocat=yes/no}}
This template should only be applied to pages where a splitting discussion has been closed with consensus to split. Eaxample:
| This article is currently slated for splitting out. There is consensus to split out this article into Some article. You can carry out the split by following the resolution at the discussion and the splitting instructions. Do not remove this notice until the split is carried out. |
If no one is actively working on the merger yet, |inactive=y will adjust the wording to make this clear, without affecting the categorization. Some mergers happen within the day, while some are put off literally for years due to lack of someone volunteering to take it on.
| This article is currently slated for splitting out. There is consensus to split out this article into Some article. You can carry out the split by following the resolution at the discussion and the splitting instructions. Do not remove this notice until the split is carried out. |
