`  :I've looked into the disambiguity page at Wikipedia, which does not instruct how to split a page. Also, I've looked at the ``too long`` link, from which can be found a [Category:Wikipedia how-to] page, namely Wikipedia:Splitting. Therein exists a ``Procedure`` subcategory where I thought I would find out how to split a page, yet it seems to show only how to signal an intent to split an article, not the split itself. Similarly, the ``article series`` was informative, but not regarding engineering the split.  :At Help:Starting an article it mentions but does not explicitly inform about starting from existing pages, i.e., spliting off an article from an existing one or dividing an existing articles into several articles. In short, I am still not clear on the procedure to follow here.  :I may at some point continue my editing research.   :IN THE MEANTIME, IF AN SKILLED EDITOR CARES TO ACCOMPLISH THE SPLIT, PLEASE DO SO.  :My preference is a split into three articles:  :*History of Tunisia: Ancient (up to and including the Byzantine section). :*History of Tunisia: Medieval (start at Islamic conquest, up to and including the Hafsids). :*History of Tunisia: Modern (starting with the Ottoman take-over).  :Although ``Early Modern History`` would better fit the Ottoman era, here such a ``Tunisia under the Ottomans`` article would comparatively be very short. The Ottoman era (especially the Bey's attempts at reform) definitely sets the stage for the French Protectorate, which eventually as a result of a long independence struggle leads to the establishment of the current Republic of Tunisia. Also, naming an article History of Tunisia: Early Modern would needlessly obscure the fact that it would simply be about Tunisia under the Ottoman Empire.  :Such a division into three articles would have the merit of clear and decisive historical events marking the end of one article, and start of the next. Also the three articles might eventually be relatively of comparable length (the third currently being the shortest).  :The Introductory paragraph can be replicated on all three, for possible modification later. Also the image of the shield of Tunisia can be a token of coherence between the articles.  :Alternatively, the proposed History of Tunisia: Modern above may instead be made into three short articles: :*History of Tunisia: Ottoman Regency :*History of Tunisia: French Protectorate :*History of Tunisia: The Republic :For reasons stated above this is not preferred. Yet such further subdivision of the original article would leave ample room for the possibility of future development and growth, if any, in its more ``modern`` sections. As to the titles, the last The Republic is preferred to Since Independence because The Republic shares equal ``syntax`` and equal dignity with the prior titles.   :Note: As far as my own anticipated contributions are concerned, they would be comparatively minor; chiefly: (1) to review and augment the Republic and French sections generally, and per the Husaynid Reforms; (2) discreet reworking of several Medieval sections, and augments (e.g., commerce and trade); and, (3) for the Ancient sections, a few discreet reworkings and augments.    `
