Template:Summary too long

Template documentation

This template can be used to indicate that the summary provided of another article in the tagged section is too long.

Usage of this template will categorize the tagged article in Category:Articles containing overly long summaries, a hidden cleanup category; to suppress this categorization, use |nocat=y.

This template is a wrapper for {{summarize|brevity=y|from|{{{1}}}|section=y|date={{{date|}}}|nocat={{{nocat|}}}}}; see Template:Summarize/doc for more information about other uses of that base template (e.g. to request a summary be provided).

Usage

If the section already has a {{Main}} indicating what the summarized article is:

{{Summary too long|date=June 2026}}

Otherwise, you can specify it manually:

{{Summary too long|Barack Obama|date=June 2026}}
