Template:Being split

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

Usage

{{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.

If no one is actively working on the split yet, |inactive=y will adjust the wording to make this clear, without affecting the categorization. Some splits happen within the day, while some are put off literally for years due to lack of someone volunteering to take it on.
