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.
Usage
Tagging a single page is simple:
{{Merge | OtherPage | date {{=}} {{CUURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }}
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 | date {{=}} {{CUURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }}
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=November 2024 }}
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=November 2024 }}
These templates will add tagged 'articles to Category:Articles to be merged, while other items (files, templates, etc.) will be added to Category:Items to be merged.
Notes
- If you want to propose merging a category, you must do so at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion, using the specific templates available there.
- Do not add the namespace to the names of the pages.
- Do not link the pages (with square brackets [[]]).
