Usage
Tagging a single page is simple:
- {{
Merge
|Article 1|date=June 2024}}
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
|Article 1|discuss=Talk:Article 1#Merge discussion|date=June 2024}}
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
|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3|discuss=Talk:Article 1#Merge discussion|date=June 2024}}
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
|Article 1|Article 2|Article 3|target=Article 4|discuss=Talk:Article 1#Merge discussion |date=June 2024}}
These templates will add tagged pages to
Category:Pages 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.
- For example, write
{{
Merge
|Article 1}}
, not
{{
Merge
|[[Article 1]]}}
.
- 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.
