 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Merge. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Which merge template should I use?
{{Merge}}– to merge at least two together at an unspecified location{{Merge to}}– to merge the contents of the tagged article into the specified article.{{Merge from}}– the opposite of{{Merge to}}; 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 destination 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 |OtherPage3 |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, you must do so at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion, using the specific templates available there.
- If you want to propose merging a template, you must do so at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion, using the specific templates available there.
- Do not add the namespace to the names of the pages.
- Do not link to the pages with square brackets.
- The date will not be shown in the box. Do not be concerned about this. It is used when grouping tagged pages together into categories by date.
