Firstly, take a look at ].

I'm not advocating the splitting of the article - perhaps an ''Alias'' wiki (that deals just with ''Alias'') is what you are looking for.

To do the split you just create the new article. You would need to check the "What links here" for the ] page (available in the toolbox, under the search bar) to fix any links. The "Character chart" is a template available at ]. Any change to the template will affect all pages it's used on - so discuss on the talk page first.--] 22:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

There's a page I want to split but I can't find step-by-step instructions on how to do it, to make sure that existing links point to the split-off page, etc.

What's the page, and what's the kind of splitting you want to do? -- Drini 20:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Irina Derevko, I want to split the section on Katya Derevko off onto its own page and make sure all the links which currently redirect to Irina get pointed to the new page.Otto4711 21:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Also I would like to know how to insert the Character chart that's found at the bottom of the Irina page into the new page and how to add characters to the chart.Otto4711 21:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, take a look at Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (writing about fiction).

I'm not advocating the splitting of the article - perhaps an Alias wiki (that deals just with Alias) is what you are looking for.

To do the split you just create the new article. You would need to check the "What links here" for the Irina Derevko page (available in the toolbox, under the search bar) to fix any links. The "Character chart" is a template available at Template:alias. Any change to the template will affect all pages it's used on - so discuss on the talk page first.--Commander Keane 22:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
