Template:Merge/doc

This is a documentation subpage for {{merge}}, {{mergefrom}} and {{mergeto}} (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

{{Merge/doc}} will add tagged pages to Category:Articles to be merged. If the date parameter is specified, pages are added to a subcategory of Category:Merge by month.

Usage

First parameter: name of page to be merged to (without square brackets)
Second parameter: location of merge discussion (without square brackets)
date parameter (optional): date, in "November 2024" format

To keep discussion of merges to one place, ensure the same location is specified on each page.
