Usage
Add {{Very long|date=November 2024}} to the top of the article, below any hatnotes.
smallparameter
{{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. |
- Readable prose size
{{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. (November 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.
