* {{tl|merge}} — to merge at least two together at an unspecified location
* {{tl|mergeto}} — to merge the contents of the tagged article ''into'' the specified article.

Which merge template should I use?

  • {{merge}} — to merge at least two together at an unspecified location
  • {{mergeto}} — to merge the contents of the tagged article into the specified article.
  • {{mergefrom}} — the opposite of {[tl|mergeto}}; the contents of the specified article should be merged into the tagged article.

This template will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be merged, and accepts at least one and up to 20 to be merged.

Syntax

Tagging a single page is simple:

{{merge | OtherPage }}

To list multiple pages, separate them with a pipe:

{{merge | OtherPage1 | OtherPage2 | OtherPage3 }}

The "discuss" by default links to the Talk: page of the page the template is transcluded in; to override, use a parameter named discuss; e.g.:

{{merge | Otherpage1 | Otherpage2 | Otherpage3 | discuss=Talk:Otherpage2#Merge-discussion-sectiontitle }}

All uses of this template should be accompanied with a date and month via the date parameter. For example:

{{merge | Otherpage | date=September 2009 }}
