Which merge template should I use?

সম্পাদনা কৰক

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

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

Tagging a single page is simple:

{{Merge to |OtherPage |date=November 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 to |OtherPage |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=November 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 to |OtherPage1 |OtherPage2 |OtherPage3 |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=November 2024}}


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.

  • After adding the merge template, please create a section on the talkpage explaining your rationale for the merge proposal.
  • If you want to propose merging a category, you must do so at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion, using the specific templates available there.
  • If you want to propose merging a template, you must do so at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion, using the specific templates available there.
  • Do not add the namespace to the names of the pages.
For example, write {{Merge|OtherHelpPage}}, not {{Merge|Help:OtherHelpPage}}.
  • Do not link to the pages with square brackets.
For example, write {{Merge|OtherArticle}}, not {{Merge|[[OtherArticle]]}}.
  • You do not have to supply the 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.
