"Remains" is not a good word here: we are splitting the window in two,
so none of them "remains". I'd say "...and will be above the other
window after splitting".

'split-window-below' in its present form doesn't make sense when
WINDOW-TO-SPLIT is life but is not the selected window. It calls
'window-point', 'window-start', 'window-height', ... without an argument
- which means to implicitly use the selected window as argument instead
of WINDOW-TO-SPLIT.

What is the "same buffer" when the root window is internal in
split-root-window-right/-below?

I guess "the same buffer as the window which was split"?

In the case sketched above the window which was split had no buffer.

I guess I don't understand the use case then? how can that happen?
And what would you suggest to say in the doc string instead?

C-x w 3

Either nothing or what 'split-window' says in that case: That the new
window shows the buffer of the window selected on the frame containing
the window that was split.
Functions like 'split-window-below' were historically intended for
interactive use only. The Elisp manual said about them
For interactive use, Emacs provides two commands which always split
the selected window.
which apparently is no longer true.

This shows *Messages* in the new window, so I think something like
...the same buffer as the window which was selected when the
function was invoked"
should be good.

That doesn't say "only for interactive use", and it would make no
sense to say that for such a basic function, IMO.

This would miss the case where WINDOW-TO-SPLIT is live and not selected.
And also the case where the root window of a non-selected frame should
be split.

I meant the "always split the selected window" part. Just think of how
much easier it would have been, had these new functions been coded as
(defun split-root-window-below (&optional size)
"Split root window of selected frame in two.
The current window configuration is retained in the top window,
the lower window takes up the whole width of the frame. SIZE is
handled as in `split-window-below'. The buffer of the new window is
taken from the selected window."
(interactive "P")
(when (and size (< size 0) (< (- size) window-min-height))
;; `split-window' would not signal an error here.
(error "Size of new window too small"))
(split-window (frame-root-window) size 'below))
(defun split-root-window-right (&optional size)
"Split root window of selected frame into two side-by-side windows.
The current window configuration is retained within the left
window, and a new window is created on the right, taking up the
whole height of the frame. SIZE is treated as by
`split-window-right'. The buffer of the new window is taken from
the selected window."
(interactive "P")
(when (and size (< size 0) (< (- size) window-min-width))
;; `split-window' would not signal an error here.
(error "Size of new window too small"))
(split-window (frame-root-window) size 'right))

OK, then how about
...the same buffer as shown in WINDOW-TO-SPLIT
?

That is still correct in interactive use, isn't it?

We are going in circles. This fails when WINDOW-TO-SPLIT is internal.

It's misleading as the current discussion shows.

I'm trying my best, sorry. Could use some help, I guess.

Which buffer will be shown in the new window in that case?

It's a minor issue, so let's not lose the focus.

If WINDOW-TO-SPLIT is live, the buffer shown in the new window is the
buffer shown in WINDOW-TO-SPLIT.
If WINDOW-TO-SPLIT is not live, the buffer shown in the new window is
the buffer shown in the selected window of WINDOW-TO-SPLIT's frame.

Thanks. Then I suggest
Split WINDOW-TO-SPLIT into two windows, one above the other.
WINDOW-TO-SPLIT defaults to the selected window if omitted or nil.
The newly created window will be below WINDOW-TO-SPLIT and will show
the same buffer as WINDOW-TO-SPLIT, if it is a live window, else the
buffer shown in the WINDOW-TO-SPLIT's frame's selected window.

Sounds correct.

Thanks, installed.
Btw, the doc string of split-window-right incorrectly said that the
new window will be to the _left_; I fixed that as well.

Are you sure? Looking at this diff
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=emacs-29&id=41f497c8bee6e36a621a6d9088636069159387a9
I see
-WINDOW-TO-SPLIT defaults to the selected window and and will be on the
-left after splitting. The newly split-off window is on the right and
-displays the same buffer. Return the new window.
+WINDOW-TO-SPLIT defaults to the selected window if omitted or nil.
+The newly created window will be to the right of WINDOW-TO-SPLIT and
+will show the same buffer as WINDOW-TO-SPLIT, if it is a live window,
+else the buffer shown in the WINDOW-TO-SPLIT's frame's selected window.
+Return the new window.
Or am I missing something?

Ignore me, the original text confused me. The new one doesn't.

I proposed the same in bug#56767.

That would have avoided nonsense like retrieving 'window-point' of an
uninvolved window or the 'quit-restore' parameter of an internal window.

Then I don't know what to do at this time before the release:
whether to rewrite them or not.
Also these commands are missing:
(defun split-root-window-above (&optional size)
(interactive "P")
(when (and size (< size 0) (< (- size) window-min-height))
;; `split-window' would not signal an error here.
(error "Size of new window too small"))
(split-window (frame-root-window) size 'above))
(defun split-root-window-left (&optional size)
(interactive "P")
(when (and size (< size 0) (< (- size) window-min-width))
;; `split-window' would not signal an error here.
(error "Size of new window too small"))
(split-window (frame-root-window) size 'left))
There are no corresponding split-window-above and split-window-left,
because they provide the same result as the existing
split-window-below and split-window-right. But there is no way
to add a window on the left/above for the root window
by using split-root-window-below or split-root-window-right.
Therefore split-root-window-above and split-root-window-left
are needed.

Maybe if it's an internal window it should fall back to the selected window
to get the 'quit-restore' parameter?
OTOH, the new argument WINDOW-TO-SPLIT makes sense for
split-window-below and split-window-right when it's not
an internal window, to be able to split any non-selected window.
