== Which merge template should I use? ==
'''Do not use this tag on a template or category'''—instead see [[#Notes|below]] for instructions.

* To merge at least two together at an unspecified location: {{tlx|Merge|OtherPage}}
* To merge the contents of the tagged article ''into'' the specified article: {{tlx|Merge to|OtherPage}}
* The contents of the specified article should be merged into the tagged article: {{tlx|Merge from|OtherPage}} – the opposite of {{tlx|Merge to}};
* To suggest merging only some material, use {{tlx|Move portions from|SourcePage}} and {{tlx|Move portions|TargetPage}}

== When to use ==
These templates are used primarily to identify potential merges that would benefit from discussion. If it is obvious that a merge would be appropriate, then you may [[WP:BOLD|boldly]] merge the pages without tagging and without discussion. Some editors also use these tags to mark pages that obviously require merging, in the hope that someone else will merge the pages.

After adding the merge template, please create a section on the talkpage explaining your rationale for the merge proposal. If the rationale is so obvious that it requires no explanation, then you should consider boldly merging the pages yourself rather than setting up a discussion.

== How to use ==
===Simple example===
Tagging a single page is simple:

{{markup
|<nowiki>{{Merge|OtherPage |date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki> }}
or
{{Merge |OtherPage |{{subst:DATE}} }}</nowiki>
|{{Merge |OtherPage |date=October 2017 }}
}}

When you want to discuss a simple merge of one page into another, tag both of them:
{{markup
|{{markup|<nowiki>{{Merge to |FirstPage |date{{=}}</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki> }}
or
{{Merge to |FirstPage |{{subst:DATE}} }}</nowiki>
|{{Merge to |FirstPage |date=October 2017 }}
}}

{{markup
|<nowiki>{{Merge from |SecondPage |date{{=}}</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki> }} or
{{Merge from |SecondPage |{{subst:DATE}} }}</nowiki>
|{{Merge from |SecondPage |date=October 2017 }}
}}

This allows editors at both pages to see both the proposed source and target.

===Other options===
By default, the {{Color|#002BB8|Discuss}} link on the template links to the top of the destination page's [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]. To specify which section, or to name a different talk page entirely, use the {{para|discuss}} parameter:

: {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |OtherPage |discuss{{=}}Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }}

To name multiple pages to be merged, simply separate them with a vertical pipe. You can add up to 20 articles to be merged:

: {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |OtherPage1 |OtherPage2 |OtherPage3 |discuss{{=}}Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }}

{{#ifeq:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Merge|To name multiple pages to merge ''into'' a single page, use the {{para|target}} parameter. For example, to merge the tagged page, as well as OtherPage1, OtherPage2, and OtherPage3 into OtherPage4, use:

: {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |OtherPage1 |OtherPage2 |OtherPage3 |target{{=}}OtherPage4 |discuss{{=}}Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }}}}

If you are placing the template in a section, you can use {{para|section|yes}} to change the wording to reflect this:
: {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |OtherPage |discuss{{=}}Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} |section{{=}}yes}}

* '''Do not link to the pages''' with square brackets. <br>For example, write {{Tlx|Merge|OtherArticle}}, not {{Tlx|Merge|[[OtherArticle]]}}.
* If you don't supply a date, a [[WP:Bots|bot]] will add it later.
* The date ''may not'' be shown in the box. Do not be concerned about this. It is used when grouping tagged pages together into categories by date.
* These templates will add tagged articles to [[:Category:Articles to be merged]], while non-articles (files, templates, etc.) will be added to [[:Category:Items to be merged]].
* For {{tl|Merge}}, if you are specifying a merge of two or more pages in different namespaces, the template supports this via specification of the ''full'' page name, including the namespace prefix. {{para|nspace}} can take on namespace values, which fixes all params to the namespace specified.
* Do not <code>[[WP:SUBST|subst:]]</code> these templates.

==When to remove==
[[Wikipedia:There is no deadline|There is no deadline]] for completing proposed merges. Pages that have been tagged for a long time (frequently more than one year) generally fall into these groups:

;Discussion supported the proposed merge, but no one did it yet: Feel free to merge the pages yourself.
;Discussion opposed merge, but nobody removed the tags: Feel free to remove the tags yourself.
;No discussion found: Feel free to remove the tags if you believe the merge would be a poor choice, or to boldly merge the pages if you believe the merge would be appropriate. Or feel free to start a discussion if you are uncertain or feel it would be controversial.

==Notes==
* If you want to propose merging a '''category''', you must do so at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion]], using the specific templates available there.
* If you want to propose merging a '''template''', you must do so at [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion]], using the specific templates available there.

67.14.236.50: {{markup}}

{{Documentation subpage}}

Shows a legend row with a colored box.
__TOC__

==Usage==
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>legend|''color''|''label''|outline=''outline color''|border=''css border''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>

''color'' is passed to the [[Cascading Style Sheets|css]] background-color property of the color box. The optional ''outline'' parameter is the color of the outline around the box. If you need to customize the border further, you can use the ''border'' argument, which overrides the ''outline'' argument and sets the css description (e.g., <code>1px solid #aaa</code>) of the border that will be drawn around the box.

==Examples==
===Use in text===
<nowiki>{{legend|black|Africa}}</nowiki>
<nowiki>{{legend|green|Americas}}</nowiki>
<nowiki>{{legend|blue|Oceania}}</nowiki>
<nowiki>{{legend|#ffa|Europe|outline=silver}}</nowiki>
<nowiki>{{legend|#ff2800|Asia}}</nowiki>

{{legend|black|Africa}}
{{legend|green|Americas}}
{{legend|blue|Oceania}}
{{legend|#ffa|Europe|outline=silver}}
{{legend|#ff2800|Asia}}

===Use in a caption ===
{{markup|<nowiki>
[[Image:Celts in Europe.png|200px|thumb|right|The Celts in Europe, past and present:
{{legend|#1a8000|present-day Celtic-speaking areas}}
{{legend|#27c600|other parts of the six most commonly recognized 'Celtic nations' and where a

{{legend|#97ffb6|other parts of Europe once peopled by Celts; modern-day inhabitants of many of

{{legend|#D2FFD2|Lusitanian area of Iberia, "Celticity" uncertain}}
