Usage
lembaAdd {{Very long|date=Disembala 2024}} to the top of the article, below any hatnotes.
smallparameter- {{Very long|small=left|date=Disembala 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. (Disembala 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=Disembala 2024}} both render:
This section may be too long to read and navigate comfortably.
- Note that there is no consensus on how long sections should be.
- 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. Its current readable prose size is 75 kilobytes. (Disembala 2024)
nosplitparameter- 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 (usually because it would fail WP:Notability as a stand-alone article).
- Categorization
- This template adds tagged articles to Category:Articles that may be too long, or one of its dated subcategories.
