This page in a nutshell:
|
Merging creates a redirect from the source page(s) to the destination page, with some or all of the content copied and pasted into that page.
Do not use this procedure to propose:
{{Cfm}}
template.{{Tfm}}
template.There are several good reasons to merge pages:
Merging should be avoided if:
Merging—regardless of the amount of information kept—should always leave a redirect (or, in some cases, a disambiguation page) in place. This is often needed to allow proper attribution through the edit history for the source page. Superfluous redirects do not harm anything, and they can be helpful in finding articles, e.g. from alternative names.
You may find that some or all of the information to be merged is already in the destination page. That is fine; you can feel free to delete the redundant information and only add new material. If there is no information to be added to the destination page, you can simply redirect the other page there, but please make this clear in the edit summary.

Users may determine whether pages should be merged. In most circumstances, a local discussion should be started to attract sufficient input. This should include the proposal itself, the list of the affected pages, and a merger rationale.
Perform the following steps:
I. | Create a discussion. This is usually done on the proposed destination page's talk page, but exceptions exist:
Example: if suggesting that Foo be merged into Bar, create a proposal to merge Foo into Bar in a new section at Talk:Bar. Start a new section at the bottom of that talk page and include the proposal itself, the list of the affected pages, and a merger rationale. A good example is the following section: == Merger proposal == I propose that [[Foo]] be merged into [[Bar]]. I think that the content in the Foo article can easily be explained in the context of Bar, and the Bar article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Foo will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. ~~~~ Notify involved users (optional). As an optional step, it may be necessary to notify users involved in the affected pages, who might not be watchlisting them. Simply go to those users' talk pages and start a new section, leaving a neutral invitation to participate in the merger discussion. Make sure to provide a link to the discussion page. You may also use the following standard templates on the users' talk pages: {{subst:Mergenote| Example: {{subst:Mergenote|Foo|Talk:Bar#Merger proposal}} |
II. | Tag the relevant pages Add the appropriate merger template to each involved page: On the source page(s), add the following template to the very top of the page: {{Merge to| Example: {{Merge to|Bar|discuss=Talk:Bar#Merger proposal|date=ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ ೨೦೨೪}} On the destination page, add the following template to the very top of the page or section: {{Merge from| Example: {{Merge from|Foo|discuss=Talk:Bar#Merger proposal|date=ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ ೨೦೨೪}} Notes:
|
III. | Discuss the merger: Discuss the merger proposal in the new discussion section; make sure to follow proper decorum and standard talk page guidelines, which includes staying focused on the content, not on the involved editors, using threaded discussion formatting, not biting newcomers, and being clear and concise. In many cases, a hybrid discussion/straw poll is used, but remember that polling is not a substitute for discussion. Example formatting: *'''Support''' - |
IV. | Close the merger discussion and determine consensus: After a period of time when discussion has ceased, a rough consensus to proceed with the merger may emerge. If enough time (normally one week or more) has elapsed and there has been no discussion or is unanimous consent to merge, any user may close the discussion and move forward with the merger. In more unclear, controversial cases, the determination that a consensus to merge has been achieved is normally made by an editor who is neutral and not directly involved in the merger proposal or the discussion. If necessary, one may request that an administrator who is not involved close the discussion and make a determination as to whether consensus has been established; such a request may be made at the Administrators' noticeboard. To close a merger proposal discussion, the == Merger proposal == {{Discussion top|1=The result of this discussion was to ... ~~~~}}
After closing the merger proposal discussion, place the following template on the source page's talk page: {{Old merge full|otherpage= |
When proposing that more than two pages be merged, it helps to be as informative as possible.
Add the following template to the top of each source page:
{{Merge|OtherPage1|OtherPage2|OtherPage3|target=
Add the following template to the top of the destination page:
{{Merge from|OtherPage1|OtherPage2|OtherPage3|discuss=
While mergers are generally not proposed from the onset of Articles for Deletion (AfD) discussions (also see Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion), it is not uncommon for editors, in an effort to mediate and/or compromise, to suggest that the article(s) nominated for deletion instead be merged to a parent article. If there is a rough consensus for a merger at the end of a deletion discussion, the following template is placed at the top of the nominated article:
{{Afd-merge to|destination article|debate name|debate closure date}}
Similarly, the following template is placed on the destination article's talk page:
{{Afd-merge from|nominated article|debate name|debate closure date}}
This informs users involved in those pages that content is to be merged as a result of a deletion discussion. It is the involved editors' job, not the closing administrators' job, to perform the merger. Proceed in the manner described above and at Help:Merging.
Merge is one of the outcome options that can be considered at a deletion discussion. See WP:ATD-M. Deletion discussions generally reach a broader spectrum of editors than a particular talk page. As such, talk page merge requests proposed after a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion, where the merge outcome option was raised by someone participating in the deletion discussion, should identify and overcome the reason(s) listed in the deletion discussion when requesting an action different from the outcome of that deletion discussion. This does not apply if a merge outcome option was not raised by someone participating in the deletion discussion. Alternatives to talk page merge requests that follow a deletion discussion include formally relisting the page for deletion through an appropriate deletion discussion venue or posting a request at Wiki: Deletion review.
A merger may be full or selective. While some mergers can be done boldly, most others (as described above) require a rough consensus.
Perform the following steps to merge an article into another article:
Merged content from [[]] to here. See [[Talk: ]].
#REDIRECT [[ ]] {{R from merge}}
#REDIRECT [[# ]] {{R from merge}}
{{R to section}}
Merged content to [[# ]]. See [[Talk: ]].
{{Copied|from|from_oldid|to|to_diff|to_oldid|date}}
to both talk pages. Place at the top of the talk pages.{{Merged-to}}
and {{Merged-from}}
templates, if not already done in step 3. See the template's documentation and Help:Merging#Performing the merger for more details. If the source page has any merged or copied templates, for example, you will need to copy those tags to the destination page.Articles to be merged | |||||
