The template used with no arguments:

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

=== "destination2" parameter ===
 +
You can also provide the name of a second page that the page or section should be merged with (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{Merge| destination = Template:Move | destination2 = Template:Split}}</nowiki></code>). It doesn't matter if the page exists already.
 +
 
 +
=== "reason" parameter ===
 +
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. <code><nowiki>{{Merge| destination = Template:Move | reason = Could be integrated into that page}}</nowiki></code>).

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

=== "nocat" parameter ===

Setting this parameter to ''true'' (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{Merge| nocat = true}}</nowiki></code>) suppresses adding the page to [[:Category:Pages to be merged]].

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:

Merge Caravans.png
This article is suggested to be merged with Please suggest a destination.
Reason: Please provide a reason.

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:

Merge Caravans.png
This article is suggested to be merged with Template:Move.
Reason: Could be integrated into that page

You can also provide a second destination: 

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

producing:

Merge Caravans.png
This article is suggested to be merged with Template:Move and/or Template:Split.
Reason: Could be integrated into that page

A specific section can be designated for merging: 

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

producing:

Merge Caravans.png
This section is suggested to be merged with Template:Move.
Reason: Could be integrated into that page
