Template talk:Split

message: Well, someone finally deleted the GIF, so I replaced it with an SVG, instead of the PNG, which (as usual) is not preferred because it doesn't display correctly for some. For reference:  and . — SheeEttin {T/C} 15:43, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: MediaWiki renders SVGs as 24-bit PNGs, which are far less compatible than 8-bit PNGs.  (They display without transparency for approximately 85% of Internet users.)  The GIF was deleted at the Commons (due to an apparent misunderstanding), and it's been restored.  —David Levy 18:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Is that an appropriate template for a category that should be split into two categories? The reason I was looking for it is because I think some of the articles in :Category:Greatest hits albums would be more appropriate in :Category:Best of albums as greatest hits and best ofs aren't always the same.

thread_title:  Split a category? 

message: How about we add "or section"? The split templates for sections are only to suggest splitting off into one article. Is this change permissible? --Gray Porpoise 13:43, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Addition 

message: A lot of maintenance templates have had the "date=" parameter integrated lately. I think that would be useful for this set of templates also. __meco 16:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  date parameter 

message: I would appreciate the ability to specify the location for the discussion, similar to the various MERGE templates. Some very active pages, most in need of splitting have extremely active talk pages, and the conversation can be entirely missed. Can anyone take this one? -- Yellowdesk (talk) 21:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I recommend that the word "entitled" be replaced by the word "titled" — entitled means having a right to something, while titled is unambiguous. —Anomalocaris (talk) 04:17, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "entitled" should be "titled" 

message: At the moment, the background for the "Splitting" section of the documentation is blue, and it's very hard to read it. Why is this the case, and can this be removed/fixed? --FIQ (talk) 21:39, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  the "Splitting" header needs a better background 

message: The fact that this template defaults to suggesting that pages be split into subpages accessible "from a disambiguation page" is misleading and troublesome, since it is typically used to request that large topics be split into subtopics (see, e.g., the use of the template at List of Fame (1982 TV series) episodes). This is an inevitable result of having this template at the basic title, "split". Disambiguation is rarely appropriate, and should only be proposed where it can be demonstrated that topics covered on the page are actually unrelated (see WP:DABCONCEPT). To have this as a default sends a false message that disambiguation is generally appropriate, where it is generally not. I have removed this part of the message and created a separate  template for the rare cases where disambiguation is actually needed. Cheers! bd2412 T 17:20, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing "from a disambiguation page" as a default. 

message: The argument names "date" and "discuss" are case sensitive (must be lower case). Does someone want to modify to make it a bit more tolerant and also accept "Date" and "Discuss"? ~Kvng (talk) 17:16, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Case sensitive

message: I think that the date (after (Discuss)) should be changed from e.g (June 2020) with Proposed since June 2020 (like it is at Template:Merge). The reason for this is that on articles like Killing of George Floyd, where both templates are in place, it would be better to have a consistent format. It seems, however, like this change isn't a simple text change (in that case I'd do it myself) as this template has a 'date' section and the Merge template doesn't, so I don't know how to do it myself. If anyone knows how to do this properly (I think there could be an issue with carrying over the old dates to the new format), please perform the change. GoodCrossing (talk) 23:11, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
