Usage

This template should be placed at the top of a page or section when it is suggested that it be merged with at least one other page. A destination for the merge is not specified when using this template. Use {{merge to}} instead to suggest a merge to a specific destination.

The page this template appears on will automatically be added to Category:Proposed merges.

The names of up to ten other pages can be given using the first through the tenth unnamed parameters. At least one other page must be specified, otherwise an error will be displayed.

{{Merge|Other page 1|Other page 2|...}}

To indicate that a section should be merged with another page, place this template at the top of the section and use |section=yes.

{{Merge|Other page|section=yes}}

A reason for the merge proposal can be given using |reason=. It is not required, but it can be used to provide context at a glance.

{{Merge|Other page|reason=Overlapping topics}}

It is good practice specify the date of the merge proposal using |date=.

{{Merge|Other page|date=June 26, 2021}}

Use |talk= to display a link to where the merge proposal is discussed. To link to a section on the page's own talk page, use |talk=Section title. To link to a section on another talk page, use |talk=Talk:Other page#Section title.

{{Merge|Other page|talk=Section title}}
