Template:Merged-from/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Merged-from.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 16,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Intended for use on talk pages, this template identifies that another page was previously merged into the current article.

Usage

{{Merged-from|article|date}}

article: Name of article which was merged; must not be wikilinked.
date: Date which the article was merged (if known).
talk: Whether to link to the article's talk page
target: The target page, if not the subject page (e.g. for a merge to a talk page)

Example:

{{merged-from|foo|20 Novembala 2024}} — displays message that the current article was merged from foo

Examples

{{merged-from|foo}} — displays message that foo was merged into the current article

The talk page link can be removed with the parameter |talk=no. Example:

{{merged-from|foo|talk=no}}

The talk page is in another namespace. Example:

{{merged-from|Wikipedia:foo|foo}}

Additionally, if the merge has been carried out as a result of an AfD, an optional |afd= parameter can be used to link to the discussion:

{{merged-from|article|date|afd=}}
