== Tips ==
*[[Wikipedia:Proposed mergers]]
* 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.
* If you propose a merge, please begin a section on the talk page with your rationale for the merge (otherwise a discussion may not even begin).
* Do not use square brackets to link articles; it is automatically done. The Talk link is always shown as pipetricked to (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 before you save!
* Do not use a full [[URL]] for either link; use the link syntax you would place in square brackets.
* The date= parameter must be lowercase, not Date=. <!-- although a bit will generally pick this up too. -->
** The date= value must be the proper full name of the month followed by a space and the four digits of the year.
** However using the substituted {{tl2|DATE}} ensures the category links will be formatted properly, and is compatible with date coded tagging on most maintenance templates. Typing '''<code> <nowiki>{{subst:DATE}}</nowiki> </code>''' will quickly become second nature.
** If you leave the date parameter off, a [[WP:BOT]] will generally add it in a day or two.
* Any additional pipe delimited field can be added to add your username and to embedded comments, such as a synopsis of your rationale locally viewable in edit mode.
* If there is consensus after one or two weeks that the articles should be merged (or no response at all), proceed with the merger. Otherwise, your proposal should be pulled. It is less controversial if you undo your own tagging. '''You have implicit <u>responsibility</u> to watch your proposal''' and follow any discussion that develops!

{{Merge/doc}} will add tagged pages to Category:Articles to be merged. If the date parameter is specified, pages are added to a subcategory of Category:Merge by month.

Usage

  • First parameter: Name of page to be merged to (without square brackets)
  • Second parameter: Location of merge discussion (without square brackets)
  • date parameter (optional): Date, in "November 2024" format

To keep discussion of merges to one place, ensure the same location is specified on each page.

Examples

{{merge}}
  1. {{Merge | Article 1 | Talk:Article 1#Merge proposal |date=November 2024 }}
  2. {{Merge | Article 2 | Talk:Article 1#Merge proposal |date=November 2024 }}
{{mergefrom}} and {{mergeto}}
  1. {{Mergefrom | Article 2 | Talk:Article 1#Merge proposal |date=November 2024 }}
  2. {{Mergeto | Article 1 | Talk:Article 1#Merge proposal |date=November 2024 }}
