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 {{Mergeto}}; the contents of the specified article should be merged into the tagged article.
Note: If you want to propose merging a category, do so at WP:Cfd.
Usage
Tagging a single page is simple:
{{Merge | OtherPage }}
By default, the (Discuss) link on the template links to the top of the tagged page's talk page. To specify which section, or to name a different talk page entirely, use the discuss parameter:
{{Merge | OtherPage | discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion }}
In addition, all uses of this template should be accompanied with a date and month via the date parameter:
{{Merge | OtherPage | discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion | date=September 2009 }}
To name other pages to be merged, simply separate them with a vertical pipe. You can add up to 20 articles to be merged.
{{Merge | OtherPage1 | OtherPage2 | OtherPage 3 | discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion | date=September 2009 }}
To name multiple pages to merge into a single page, use the target parameter. For example, to merge the tagged page, as well as OtherPage1, OtherPage2, and OtherPage3 into OtherPage4, use:
{{Merge | OtherPage1 | OtherPage2 | OtherPage3 | target=OtherPage4 | discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion | date=September 2009 }}
These templates will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be merged, and other items (files, templates, etc.) to Category:Items to be merged.
