Description[edit]

Creates a banner noting that the page or section should be merged and automatically categorizes the page into Category:Pages to be merged.

Parameters[edit]

This template has no mandatory parameters, it is however good practice to always provide the "destination" and "reason" parameter.

"destination" parameter[edit]

You should always provide the name of the page that the page or section should be merged with (e.g. {{Merge| destination = Template:Move}}). It doesn't matter if the page exists already.

"destination2" parameter[edit]

You can also provide the name of a second page that the page or section should be merged with (e.g. {{Merge| destination = Template:Move | destination2 = Template:Split}}). It doesn't matter if the page exists already.

"reason" parameter[edit]

You should always provide an explanation why you think the page should be merged and why with that particular destination - be it as obvious to you as it gets. This can be any text (e.g. {{Merge| destination = Template:Move | reason = Could be integrated into that page}}).

"section" parameter[edit]

Setting this parameter to any value (e.g. {{Merge| section = 1}}) will change the message from "article" to "section".

"nocat" parameter[edit]

Setting this parameter to true (e.g. {{Merge| nocat = true}}) suppresses adding the page to Category:Pages to be merged.

Include this parameter when using the template for testing purposes, like on this page.

Examples[edit]

The template can be used with no arguments:

{{Merge}}

producing:

As you can see, however, the template complains if you don't provide a destination and a reason. You should therefore always provide them:

{{Merge| destination = Template:Move | reason = Could be integrated into that page}}

producing:

You can also provide a second destination:

{{Merge| destination = Template:Move | destination2 = Template:Split | reason = Could be integrated into that page}}

producing:

A specific section can be designated for merging:

{{Merge| destination = Template:Move | reason = Could be integrated into that page | section = 1}}

producing:
