Template:Merge/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Merge (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

When a page's contents could be merged with another page, use this template. This template should not be confused with the similar template {{move}}. Place this template on pages that could be deleted, with its information added to another page. This template will automatically categorize pages into the Merge Request category; to prevent automatic categorization, add the |cat=no parameter into the template.

Use the syntax {{merge|<page requested to be merged>}}, such as {{merge|Last Outlaws}}, to request to merge the current page into "Last Outlaws". Usage of this template without a parameter with the page requested to be merged will show up as if you wanted to merge the page into itself.

The second parameter can also be used if it is agreed that the page's contents should be merged, and needs to be merged. It must include the discussion section name in the talk page, such as {{merge|Last Outlaws|discussion name}}.
