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.

This template will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be merged, and accepts at least one and up to 20 to be merged.

Syntax

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:

{{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 }}
