Here's what I do when I split a page and remember to care about attribution.

Say you had a page named Apples and Oranges, and decided they needed dedicated articles:
 * 1) Rename the page to Apples
 * 2) Export Apples
 * 3) Edit the XML file to change the page title from "Apples" to "Oranges"
 * 4) Import the edited XML file
 * 5) At this point, you have two identical pages, with identical history, so you then edit each page to remove the information about the other

Edit: Special:Import requires admin rights.

Edit: Be sure to edit the XML file in a plain-text editor, such as notepad.
