This template can be placed at the top of an article that is considered to be merged with another article. | This template can be placed at the top of an article or section that is considered to be merged with another article. | ||
Pages marked with this template will automatically be added to the category [[:Category:Articles to be merged|Articles to be merged]]. Categorisation can be suppressed with the '''nocat''' parameter. | |||
Merging can be done if two articles are found to be similar enough that merging them would aid their maintenance. The merge is done by copying text from one article to another and keeping the first as a redirect page. Normally text from a shorter article is merged into a longer article. | Merging can be done if two articles are found to be similar enough that merging them would aid their maintenance.
