=== Articles covering subtopics ===
Wikipedia articles tend to grow in a way that leads to the natural creation of new articles. The text of any article consists of a sequence of related but distinct subtopics. When there is enough text in a given subtopic to merit its own article, that text can be [[WP:Summary style|summarized]] in the present article and a link provided to the more detailed article.<!--note:nearly verbatim from [[WP:SS]]<ref>A similar approach is an [[WP:Article series|article series]], in which related articles are connected to each other with a special-purpose index box. An example of this is [[Isaac Newton#Biography]], where articles on various periods of his life are listed in {{tl|IsaacNewtonSegments}}.</ref> Note: commenting out this footnote because [[WP:Article series]] needs some work.--> [[Cricket]] is an example of an article covering subtopics: it is divided into subsections that give an overview of the sport, with each subsection leading to one or more subtopic articles.
