Which merge template should I use? ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ

Do not use this tag on a Wikipedia WP:template or WP:category—instead see below for instructions.

To merge at least two articles together at an unspecified location, use {{Merge|OtherPage}}
To merge the contents of the tagged article into the specified article, use {{Merge to|OtherPage}}
If the contents of the specified article should be merged into the tagged article, use {{Merge from|OtherPage}} – the opposite of {{Merge to}};
To suggest merging only some material from one article to another, use {{Merge portions from|SourcePage}} and {{Split portions|TargetPage}}

When to use and when not to use ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ

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 template, 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.

If you want to propose merging a category, you must do so at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion, using the specific templates available there.

How to use ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ

Simple example ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ

Tagging a single page is simple:

Markup

Renders as

{{Merge|OtherPage |date=ಮೇ ೨೦೨೪ }}
or
{{Merge |OtherPage |{{subst:DATE}} }}

When you want to discuss a simple merge of one page into another, tag both of them:

Markup

Renders as

{{Merge to |FirstPage |date=ಮೇ ೨೦೨೪ }}
or
{{Merge to |FirstPage |{{subst:DATE}} }}

Markup

Renders as

{{Merge from |SecondPage |date=ಮೇ ೨೦೨೪ }}
or
{{Merge from |SecondPage |{{subst:DATE}} }}

This allows editors at both pages to see both the proposed source and target.

Other options ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ

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 section from |OtherPage |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=ಮೇ ೨೦೨೪}}

To name multiple pages to be merged, simply separate them with a vertical pipe. You can add up to 20 articles to be merged:

{{Merge section from |OtherPage1 |OtherPage2 |OtherPage3 |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=ಮೇ ೨೦೨೪}}

If you are placing the template in a section, you can use |section=yes to change the wording to reflect this:

{{Merge section from |OtherPage |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=ಮೇ ೨೦೨೪ |section=yes}}

Do not link to the pages with square brackets.
For example, write {{Merge|OtherArticle}}, not {{Merge|[[OtherArticle]]}}.
If you don't supply a date, a bot will add it later.
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.
These templates will add tagged articles to ವರ್ಗ:Articles to be merged, while non-articles (files, templates, etc.) will be added to ವರ್ಗ:Items to be merged.
For {{Merge}}, if you are specifying a merge of two or more pages in different namespaces, the template supports this via specification of the full page name, including the namespace prefix. |nspace= can take on namespace values, which fixes all params to the namespace specified.
Do not subst: these templates.

When to remove ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ

There is no deadline for completing proposed merges. Pages that have been tagged for a long time (frequently more than one year) generally fall into these groups:

Discussion supported the proposed merge, but no one did it yet: Feel free to merge the pages yourself.
Discussion opposed merge, but nobody removed the tags: Feel free to remove the tags yourself.
No discussion found: Feel free to remove the tags if you believe the merge would be a poor choice, or to boldly merge the pages if you believe the merge would be appropriate. Or feel free to start a discussion if you are uncertain or feel it would be controversial.
