Template:Merge/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Merge. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
Tagging a single page is simple:
{{Merge |OtherPage |date=October 2024}}
It has been suggested that this page or section be merged with OtherPage. (Discuss) |
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=October 2024}}
It has been suggested that this page or section be merged with OtherPage. (Discuss) |
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=October 2024}}
It has been suggested that this page or section be merged with OtherPage1, OtherPage2 and OtherPage3. (Discuss) |
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=October 2024}}
It has been suggested that this page or section be merged with OtherPage1, OtherPage2 and OtherPage3 to OtherPage4. (Discuss) |
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
- After adding the merge template, please create a section on the talkpage explaining your rationale for the merge proposal.
- Do not link to the pages with square brackets.
- The date may not be shown in the box. Do not be concerned about this. It is used when grouping tagged pages together into categories by date.
