Template:Merge/doc

This template will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be merged. If the date= parameter is provided, articles are added to a subcategory of Category:Merge by month.

Important

• Please use the second parameters to direct to the same Talk page. Otherwise, two separate discussions could take place in each of the articles' Talk pages.

Technicalities

• Do not use square brackets to link articles; it is automatically done. The Talk link is always shown as (discuss).
• Make sure you link Article 2 in Article 1 and vice versa, not Article 1 in Article 1 or Article 2 in Article 2. If the link appears bold black, reverse them!
• Do not use a full URL for either link; use the link you would place in square brackets.
• The date= parameter must be lowercase, not Date=.
• The date= value must be the proper full name of the month followed by a space and the four digits of the year.

Optional

• Your username is optional documentation. It does nothing in the template and is merely there for anyone to quickly find out who added the tag.
• Merger proposals that receive little or no support over several months should be pulled. It is less controversial if you undo your own tagging. You have implicit responsibility to watch the proposal and follow any consensus that develops!
