Template:Mergeto
Goal
This template can be placed at the top of an article or section that is considered to be merged into another article or section.
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 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.
Usage
The template is placed at the top of the article or section to be merged from.
{{mergeto|other article#section|discussion page |date=April 2024 |nocat=}}
- other article
- Mandatory name of the article to be merged into.
- section
- Optionally a section suitable to merge with if there already is such a section.
- 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 April 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 of 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.
