A '''shard''' is a ''section of larger article'' that is presented individually for end-user clarity. These were previously redirects, but are better suited to be shown as individual articles, without having to directly copy and paste them as such. 

This allows articles to be "sliced" from the main one with ease.

A pertinent example of its use is to create shards focused on individual worlds that comprise [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol]], as exemplified below.

==Usage==

<pre>
{{shard
|article=
|section=
|refs=
}}</pre>

* '''article''': The name of the full article page.
* '''section''': The section of the article. 
** Note: If the section has fancy formatting, hyperlink, etc., be sure to copy the wikitext that includes this. Otherwise, it'll break.
* '''refs''': Creates a references section. Typically hidden by default, otherwise marked '''Y''' to make visible.
** Note: By default, any references that are used in the page will show up as footnotes at the bottom of the shard. Enabling this just makes them prettier.

===Example===

<pre>{{shard|article=The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|section=Caprica}}</pre>

==== Output ====

{{shard|article=The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|section=Caprica}}

== Shorter Form ==

Alternately, here is the shorter form of the above, without needing to define the fields before hand (as above):

{{tlp|shard|''title of article''|''section of article''}}

===Example===

<pre>{{shard|The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Aquaria}}</pre>

====Output==== 

{{shard|The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Aquaria}}
