Template:Very long/doc

{{#invoke:Message box|mbox}} {{#invoke:Message box|mbox}}

See Wikipedia:Article size for more information on this topic.

Usage

Add {{Very long|date=July 2025}} 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=July 2025}} to the top of the section, which renders then as: {{ safesubst:#invoke:Unsubst||$N=Very long |date=__DATE__ |$B= {{#invoke:Message box|ambox}} }}

Small parameter

{{Very long|small=left|date=July 2025}} generates the following small sized template: {{ safesubst:#invoke:Unsubst||$N=Very long |date=__DATE__ |$B= {{#invoke:Message box|ambox}} }}

Section

{{Very long section}} and {{Very long|section|small=left|date=July 2025}} both render: {{ safesubst:#invoke:Unsubst||$N=Very long section |date=__DATE__ |$B= {{ safesubst:#invoke:Unsubst||$N=Very long |date=__DATE__ |$B= {{#invoke:Message box|ambox}} }} }}

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: {{ safesubst:#invoke:Unsubst||$N=Very long |date=__DATE__ |$B= {{#invoke:Message box|ambox}} }}

This template adds tagged articles to Category:Articles that may be too long, or one of its dated subcategories.
