Template:Merge/doc

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=November 2024}}

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=November 2024}}

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 non-articles (files, templates, etc.) will be added to Category:Items to be merged.

Notes

• If you want to propose merging a category, please consider doing so at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion, using the specific templates available there.

• If you want to propose merging a template, please consider doing so at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion, using the specific templates available there.

• Do not add the namespace to the names of the pages.

For example, write {{Merge|TemplateName}}, not {{Merge|Template:TemplateName}}.

• Do not link the pages (with square brackets [[]]).
