See [[Wikipedia:Article size]] for more information on this topic.

== Usage ==
Add {{Tlx|Very long|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} to the top of the article, below any [[WP:HAT|hatnotes]].

If a particular section of an article is getting long, even though it has already been split to its own article as per [[WP:SUMMARY|the summary style]], then it can be tagged by adding {{Tlx|Very long|section|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} to the top of the section, which renders then as: {{Very long|section|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

; Small parameter
{{Tlx|Very long|small{{=}}left|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} generates the following small sized template: {{Very long|small=left|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

; Section
{{Tlx|Very long section}} and {{Tlx|Very long|section|small{{=}}left|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} both render: {{Very long section}}

; Readable prose size
The readable prose size in kilobytes, calculated with the help of tools like [[User:Dr pda/prosesize|Prosesize]] or [[User:Shubinator/DYKcheck|Shubinator's DYK tool]], can be added manually to the template: {{Tlx|Very long|rps{{=}}75}} generates the following template: {{Very long|rps=75}}

This template adds tagged articles to [[:Category:Articles that may be too long]], or one of its dated subcategories.
