Usage
Add {{Very long|date=November 2024}}
to the top of the article, below any hatnotes.
If a particular section of an article is getting long, even though it has already been split to its own article as per the summary style, then it can be tagged by adding {{Very long|section|date=November 2024}}
to the top of the section, which renders then as:
This page may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. (November 2024) |
- Small parameter
{{Very long|small=left|date=November 2024}}
generates the following small sized template:
This section is too long. Consider splitting it into new pages, adding subheadings, or condensing it. (November 2024) |
- Section
{{Very long section}}
and {{Very long|section|small=left|date=November 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. |
This template adds tagged articles to Category:Articles that may be too long, or one of its dated subcategories.
