Template:Overly detailed

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used to identify articles which, while comprehensible, contain excessive detail on trivial subjects and need to be refocused to suit a more general audience.

Usage

Full page

{{Overly detailed|details=}}

Section

{{Overly detailed|section|details=}}</nowiki>

Suppress recommendation to split

{{Overly detailed|section|nosplit=1|details=}}

{{Overly detailed|nosplit=1|details=}}

section, nosplit, and details are all optional.

The "section" attribute, if included, customises the wording to apply only to a section of an article. The word "section" should be used as is, and not replaced with the name of the section.

The "nosplit" parameter, if set, removes the phrase spinning off or relocating any relevant information, and from the template. This is useful when details need to be removed altogether, not split off or moved elsewhere.

The "details" parameter, if set, can be used to customize the message.

This template should not be subst'ed.

Notes

This template will add tagged articles to Category:Articles that are excessively detailed.
