Template:Main/doc

When Wikipedia articles become too large, subarticles are usually created. This template is used to mark the section of the "Main" article that was separated to add a link to the new article. It should not be used at the top of an article to link to its parent topic. Such links should be a natural part of the article lead.

Usage

{{main
  |Article 1
}}

You may also include additional links, up to ten in total:

{{main
  |Article 1
  |Article 2
  |Article 3
  |Article 4
  |Article 5
  |Article 6
  |Article 7
  |Article 8
  |Article 9
  |Article 10
}}

For each link, you may optionally specify a link appearance (this is mostly intended for articles whose titles suffer from technical limitations):

{{main
  |Article 1
  |Article 2
  |Article 3
  |Article 4
  |Article 5
  |Article 6
  |Article 7
  |Article 8
  |Article 9
  |Article 10
  |l1=Article 1 link appearance
  |l2=Article 2 link appearance
  |l3=Article 3 link appearance
  |l4=Article 4 link appearance
  |l5=Article 5 link appearance
  |l6=Article 6 link appearance
  |l7=Article 7 link appearance
  |l8=Article 8 link appearance
  |l9=Article 9 link appearance
  |l10=Article 10 link appearance
}}
