Template:Verylong

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

Usage

Add {{Very long|date=November 2024}} to the top of the article, below any hatnotes.

small parameter

{{Very long|small=left|date=November 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. (November 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=November 2024}} both render:

This section may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. Consider splitting content into sub-articles, condensing it, or adding subheadings. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page.

Readable prose size (in words)

The readable prose size in words, calculated with the help of tools like Prosesize or Shubinator's DYK tool, can be added manually to the template:

{{Very long|words=7,000}} generates the following template:

This page may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. When this tag was added, its readable prose size was 7,000 words. Consider splitting content into sub-articles, condensing it, or adding subheadings. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page. (November 2024)

nosplit parameter: 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.
