[edit] Template documentation
This documentation is transcluded from Template:Merge-multiple-to/doc. (edit | history)

Contents

{{Merge-multiple-to}} will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be merged. If the date= parameter is provided (this occurs easiest by substituting Template:DATE, automatically giving the correct format and permanency needed), articles are added to a subcategory of Category:Merge by month.

[edit] Usage and examples

  • You can list up to 20 pages to be merged together to form a target page.
  • A target page is identified using the target parameter.
  • The discuss parameter points to a centralised target for discussion.
  • The date parameter categorises the merge request by month and year, for example "November 2007".
  • Please note that carriage returns are not supported in this template.
{{Merge-multiple-to|X1|X2|X3|target=X45|discuss=Talk:X4|date=November 2007}}
It has been suggested that this page or section be merged with X1, X2 and X3 to form X45. (Discuss)

[edit] Tips

  • Please use the second parameters to direct to the same Talk page. Otherwise, numerous separate discussions could take place in each of the articles' Talk pages.
  • If you propose a merge, please begin a section on the talk page with your rationale for the merge (otherwise a discussion may not even begin).
  • Do not use square brackets to link articles; it is automatically done. The Talk link is always shown as pipetricked to (discuss).
  • Make sure you link all articles.
  • Do not use a full URL for either link; use the link syntax you would place in square brackets.
  • The date= parameter must be lowercase, not Date=.
    • The date= value must be the proper full name of the month followed by a space and the four digits of the year.
    • However using the substituted {{DATE}} ensures the category links will be formatted properly, and is compatible with date coded tagging on most maintenance templates. Typing {{subst:DATE}} will quickly become second nature.
    • If you leave the date parameter off, a WP:BOT will generally add it in a day or two.
  • If there is consensus after one or two weeks that the articles should be merged (or no response at all), proceed with the merger. Otherwise, your proposal should be pulled. It is less controversial if you undo your own tagging. You have implicit responsibility to watch your proposal and follow any discussion that develops!
