Merge-arrows.gif
It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with [[{{{1}}}]].
The following template description is not displayed when the template is inserted in an article.

Goal

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 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.

Usage

The template is placed at the top of the article to be merged from.

{{merge|other article|discussion page |date=March 2024 |nocat=}}
other article
Name of the article to be merged to.
discussion page
Optional name of a discussion page with a section about the merge.
date
Optional date the merge was proposed in m YYYY format, for example March 2024.
nocat
Optionally suppresses automatic categorisation if true. Useful in examples.

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

Examples
