Template:Coatrack/doc

Template:Coatrack is for articles that primarily may relate to a different subject (coatrack), or to only one aspect rather than the subject as a whole (content forking). A coatrack article is an article that ostensibly discusses the nominal subject, but in reality is a cover for a tangentially related biased subject. A content fork is the creation of multiple separate articles all treating the same subject, which is undesirable when the article is deliberately created to avoid neutral point of view guidelines or the article is redundant with another article.
