Template: merge

This page is a template. It should be used as part of other articles. For more information, read Help:Template.

Please do not experiment with this template; you could ruin all pages using this template. If you want to edit this template, copy the text to Template:Sandbox, edit and test it there, and copy it back when it works.

Feel free to voice your opinion regarding this template.

If you wanted to create a new page, please instead use the search box to search for the title of the new page you want to create, submit the search and follow the link Create the page "XYZ" on this wiki! in the results page. An alternative is to create a dangling link to the page. A final option is to simply visit the expected location of the page.

A "merge" flag used to suggest merging of two articles.

Usage

{{Merge|Article to merge with|reason}}

You can override the default discussion page with a third optional argument

{{Merge|Article to merge with|reason|Talk:Article to be merged#Merge discussion}}

Alternatively you can point to a specific section in the default talk page with the named section parameter:

{{Merge|Article to merge with|reason|section=Section name}}

Flagged pages can be found in Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Merge or in Category:Pages or sections flagged with Template:Merge. Users are encouraged to participate in merger discussions or simply complete the merge (if sensible). The {{Merge}} flag should be removed after the merge is completed or the proposal is rejected.

Note: The talk page is linked through an external link: this is to avoid polluting Special:WantedPages when the talk page does not exist.

Example

{{Merge|Template:Merge|This is just a demonstration template.}}

This article or section is a candidate for merging with Template:Merge.

Notes: This is just a demonstration template. (Discuss in Template talk:Merge#)
