Template:Very long/doc
New intro section to be written...
Usage
Add {{Very long|date=May 2024}}
to the top of the article, below any hatnotes.
small
parameter
{{Very long|small=left|date=May 2024}}
generates the following smaller-sized template, a left-size box instead of a banner (which is usually only of use with |section=
, below):
This section is too long. Consider splitting it into new pages, adding subheadings, or condensing it. (May 2024) |
- Section-specific use
If just a particular section of an article is getting long, it can be tagged by adding the |section=
parameter, or using the {{Very long section}}
template variant:
{{Very long section}}
and {{Very long|section|small=left|date=May 2024}}
both render:
This section is too long. Consider splitting it into new pages, adding subheadings, or condensing it. |
- Readable prose size
The readable prose size in kilobytes, calculated with the help of tools like Prosesize or Shubinator's DYK tool, can be added manually to the template: {{Very long|rps=75}}
generates the following template:
This page may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. The readable prose size is 75 kilobytes. |
nosplit
parameter
Adding |nosplit=yes
(or any other value for that parameter, such as y or true) will suppress mention of splitting the material to new sub-articles, since not all content is suitable for splitting.
- Categorization
This template adds tagged articles to Category:Articles that may be too long, or one of its dated subcategories.
