Template:Split dab/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Split dab. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This is a customized wrapper for the {{Split}} template, which means it is built upon the other template's code. Parameters from {{Split}} will only work here if they have been added to this template. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, including moving it, changing its scope, or nominating 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! |
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 proposed for splitting and its dated subcategory.

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.
