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; ; use the Template:T1 template at the top of the subarticle instead. The template is also not used instead of inline links or as a "see also". It has a specific usage as described above.
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 }}
