Usage
[edit source]Place this at the top of a section that has grown too large and has been split but not yet summarized. It can also be placed at the top of a new article that is the result of a split, if the article still needs post-split cleanup such as a proper lead section, link and citation repair, etc.
For example, {{Cleanup split|Megabat}} produces:
This article or section may need to be cleaned up or summarized. It has been split from/to Megabat. |
