Which merge template should I use?

Do not use this tag on a template or category—instead see 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}}

When to use

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 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, please create a section on the talkpage 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 rather than setting up a discussion.

How to use

Simple example

Tagging a single page is simple:

{{Mergeto|OtherPage|date=നവംബർ 2024}}

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

{{Merge to|FirstPage|date=നവംബർ 2024}}

{{Merge from|SecondPage|date=നവംബർ 2024}}

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

Other options

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:

{{Mergeto|OtherPage |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=നവംബർ 2024}}

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

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

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

{{Mergeto|OtherPage |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=നവംബർ 2024 |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 Category:Articles to be merged, while non-articles (files, templates, etc.) will be added to Category: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

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.
