{{Wikipedia:Article alerts/Bot use warning}}
This template uses Lua: |
This template will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be split.
Usage
When two or more distinct topics which share the same or similar title are being written about on the same page, a content split may be considered. Consideration must be given both to notability and to potential neutrality issues before proposing a split. If one or more of the topics is not notable it may be more appropriate to simply remove the material from Wikipedia than to create a new article.
