{{Merge|OtherPage}}
{{Merge to|DestinationPage}}
{{Merge from|SourcePage}}
– the opposite of {{Merge to}}
;{{Merge portions from|SourcePage}}
and {{Split portions|DestinationPage}}
Source page is the page that content is merged from.
Destination page or target page is the page that content is merged into.
Other page is any page involved in a merger.
These templates are used primarily to identify potential merges that would benefit from discussion. If it is obvious that a merge would be appropriate, then you may boldly merge the pages yourself without tagging and without discussion. Some editors also use these tags to mark pages that obviously require merging in the hope that someone else will merge the pages.
After adding the merge tag, you are expected to create a section on the talk page of the appropriate article (see below for details) explaining your rationale for the merge proposal. If the rationale is so obvious that it requires no explanation, then you should consider boldly merging the pages yourself, or explain on the talk page why you didn't do so yourself.
Tagging a single page, without specifying source or destination, is simple:
Markup | Renders as | ||
---|---|---|---|
{{Merge|OtherPage |date=මැයි 2024 }} or {{Merge |OtherPage |{{subst:DATE}} }} |
| ||
When you want to discuss a simple merge of one page into another, tag both source and destination page:
Markup | Renders as | ||
---|---|---|---|
{{Merge to |DestinationPage |date=මැයි 2024 }} or {{Merge to |DestinationPage |{{subst:DATE}} }} |
| ||
Markup | Renders as | ||
---|---|---|---|
{{Merge from |SourcePage |date=මැයි 2024 }} or {{Merge from |SourcePage |{{subst:DATE}} }} |
| ||
This allows editors at both pages to see the proposed source and destination.
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:
{{ඒකාබද්ධකරන්න|OtherPage |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merger discussion |date=මැයි 2024}}
To name multiple pages to be merged, simply separate them with a vertical pipe. You can add up to 20 articles to be merged:
{{ඒකාබද්ධකරන්න|OtherPage1 |OtherPage2 |OtherPage3 |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merger discussion |date=මැයි 2024}}
To name multiple pages to merge into a single page, use the |target=
parameter, available only with the {{merge}}
template.
If you are placing the template in a section, you can use |section=yes
to change the wording to reflect this:
{{ඒකාබද්ධකරන්න|OtherPage |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merger discussion |date=මැයි 2024 |section=yes}}
{{Merge|OtherPage}}
, not {{Merge|[[OtherPage]]}}
|nspace=
can take on namespace values, which fixes all params to the namespace specified.subst:
these templates.When a merge is being proposed as an option at an XfD discussion, the templates {{subst:Merge from AfD}}
, {{subst:Merge from MfD}}
, {{subst:Merge from CfD}}
, and {{subst:Merge from TfD}}
can be used to direct visitors at the merge target to the appropriate XfD discussion.
There is no deadline for completing proposed merges (note the absence of any such deadlines at WP:MERGE). Pages that have been tagged for a long time (frequently more than one year) generally fall into these groups:
