Which merge template should I use?

- {{{{#if:|subst:}}Merge from{{#if:|
|{{{2}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{3}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{4}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{5}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{6}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{7}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{8}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{9}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{10}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{11}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}} – the opposite of {{{{#if:|subst:}}Merge to{{#if:| |{{{2}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{3}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{4}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{5}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{6}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{7}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{8}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{9}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{10}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{11}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}}; the contents of the specified article should be merged into the tagged article.
Usage
Tagging a single page is simple:
-
{{{{#if:|subst:}}Merge/doc {{#if:OtherPage |
|OtherPage }}{{#if:date=March 2013 | |date=March 2013 }}{{#if:| |{{{4}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{5}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{6}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{7}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{8}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{9}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{10}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{11}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}}
By default, the Discuss link on the template links to the top of the destination page's talk page. To specify which section, or to name a different talk page entirely, use the |{{#if:discuss|discuss=|}} parameter:
-
{{{{#if:|subst:}}Merge/doc {{#if:OtherPage |
|OtherPage }}{{#if:discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion | |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion }}{{#if:date=March 2013 | |date=March 2013 }}{{#if:| |{{{5}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{6}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{7}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{8}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{9}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{10}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{11}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}}
To name other pages to be merged, simply separate them with a vertical pipe. You can add up to 20 articles to be merged:
-
{{{{#if:|subst:}}Merge/doc {{#if:OtherPage1 |
|OtherPage1 }}{{#if:OtherPage2 | |OtherPage2 }}{{#if:OtherPage3 | |OtherPage3 }}{{#if:discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion | |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion }}{{#if:date=March 2013 | |date=March 2013 }}{{#if:| |{{{7}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{8}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{9}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{10}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{11}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}}
{{#ifeq:Merge/doc|Merge|To name multiple pages to merge into a single page, use the |{{#if:target|target=|}} parameter. For example, to merge the tagged page, as well as OtherPage1, OtherPage2, and OtherPage3 into OtherPage4, use:
-
{{{{#if:|subst:}}Merge/doc {{#if:OtherPage1 |
|OtherPage1 }}{{#if:OtherPage2 | |OtherPage2 }}{{#if:OtherPage3 | |OtherPage3 }}{{#if:target=OtherPage4 | |target=OtherPage4 }}{{#if:discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion | |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion }}{{#if:date=March 2013 | |date=March 2013 }}{{#if:| |{{{8}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{9}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{10}}} }}{{#if:| |{{{11}}} }}{{#if:| |... }}}}}}
These templates will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be merged, while non-articles (files, templates, etc.) will be added to Category:Items to be merged.
