සැකිල්ල:අති දීර්ඝ/doc

See Wikipedia:Article size for more information on this topic. Note that simply exceeding the recommended limits is insufficient reason to place this template; it must pertain to an ongoing discussion on the talk page. This template can be removed when the discussion ends.

Usage

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

small parameter

{{Very long|small=left|date=නොවැම්බර් 2024}} generates the following smaller-sized template, a left-size box instead of a banner (which is usually only of use with |section=, below):

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=නොවැම්බර් 2024}} both render:

Note that there is no consensus on how long sections should be.

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:

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).
