Template:Mergeto: Difference between revisions

<div class="messagebox merge" style="background: #fff; border: 1px #ccc solid; padding:12px; margin: 12px">[[Image:Merge-arrow.gif|left]] It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into ''[[{{{1}}}]]''. {{#if: {{{2|}}} | [[{{{2}}}|Discuss]] this merge.|}} {{#if: {{{date|}}} | <small>''This has been proposed since {{{date}}}''.</small>|}}</div><includeonly>

{{main other | [[Category:Articles to be merged|{{PAGENAME}} (into {{{1}}})]] }}</includeonly><noinclude>

Pages in the article namespace marked with this template will automatically be added to the category [[:Category:Articles to be merged|Articles to be merged]].

Merging can be done if a section is slightly out of context in one article but is similar enough that copying it into another article or merging it with a section in the other article would aid their maintenance.

; other article: Mandatory name of the article to be merged into

 

 

 

If there is a need for a motivation or a discussion about the merge, do so on the discussion page of the page to be merged from, preferably as a new section named something like ''Merge to &lt;other article&gt;'' and link to the talk page and preferably also to that section with the second parameter.
