I didn’t find this post initially when I revived the same issue here: [Splitting a topic and moving replies to a new topic - #6 by wolftune](https://meta.discourse.org/t/splitting-a-topic-and-moving-replies-to-a-new-topic/30999/6)

I’m not seeing any justification for why a moderator action splitting a topic should be _less_ apparent than when a poster chooses to reply-as-new-topic. It seems quite hyperbolic to consider the proposed visual above in this topic to be a “giant billboard”.
