Articles to be split

• 15 Aug 2026 – Internet culture (talk · edit · hist) is proposed for splitting by Kowal2701 (t · c); see discussion

Please feel free to list your new cultural evolution-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,500 characters, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page.
