# date code... "date=" parameter <u>must be</u> lowercase text, the proper name of the month, full four digits of year.{{i}}note the 'date=' and Talk page link can be in either order.
* Please use the second parameters to direct to the same Talk page. Otherwise, two separate discussions could take place in each of the articles' Talk pages.

# Username or Signature is optional documentation... a courtesy to other editors, it does nothing in the template. It is implicitly understood that a tagging editor will 'pull the plug' on merger proposals that receive little or no support over several months. (It's less controversial if you remove your own tagging, and conversely signifies you take responsibility to watch the proposal and follow the consensus that develops! This is a good practice for any and all banner tagging used for administration.)
;Technicalities
* Do not use square brackets to link articles; it is automatically done. The Talk link is always shown as (discuss).
* Make sure you link Article 2 in Article 1 and vice versa, not Article 1 in Article 1 or Article 2 in Article 2. If the link appears bold black, reverse them!
* Do not use a full [[URL]] for either link; use the link you would place in square brackets.
* The date= parameter must be lowercase, not Date=.
* The date= value must be the proper full name of the month followed by a space and the four digits of the year.
 
;Optional
* Your username is optional documentation. It does nothing in the template and is merely there for anyone to quickly find out who added the tag.
* Merger proposals that receive little or no support over several months should be pulled. It is less controversial if you undo your own tagging. You have implicit responsibility to watch the proposal and follow any consensus that develops!
