Lead too long template. |

![]() | This template ( Template:Lead too long) was considered for deletion on 2015 January 2. The result of the discussion was "keep". |
Whoever that is nominating this article for deletion should change their POV. This template should remind people that some article should be trimmed into multiple articles. -- TheSamurai 03:44, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Template:Toolong had been deleted "by consensus" on 03:03, 17 April 2005. See: Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/Deleted/April 2005#Template:Toolong
If we go past the issue of re-creating a previously deleted template... This is marked as a cleanup template, but this isn't really a cleanup issue, more like PNA. It's also semi-redundant given that we have the long page warning and {{ verylarge}}. Should it be turned into a redirect? -- Joy [shallot] 14:38, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
This template is contradicting itself! Because when you put this template in front of the intro, you make the intro a lot longer and the table of contents will be harder to reach as before. So this template makes no sense at all. It makes the problem it wants to fix (and I support that, I dislike long intros myself), even worse!
So maybe it's better to:

I just added this template to the Acculturation article and it seems that it does NOT categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia introduction cleanup as stated in the documentation, but rather Category:Cleanup from July 2009 instead. -- œ ™ 22:40, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be current? Can't seem to see it when I try to edit the page though. Matt Adore ( talk) 21:25, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
The template says "Place
![]() | This article's
lead section may be too long. (<Month> <Year>) |
with the currently month and year..." - "currently" should be "current", but I cannot see how to amend it as when I try to edit the template I cannot change that text. Please sign. Matt Adore ( talk) 21:33, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Much. Thanks. Matt Adore ( talk) 22:30, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I request the addition of some wording to guide editors better. "Please help by moving some material from it into the body of the article or edit the lead in such a way as to have an adequate number of paragraphs". Thinker78 (talk) 03:13, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
