===Description===

The {{tl|mfd-mergeto}} and {{tl|mfd-mergefrom}} templates are intended for use by a sysop who closes an [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion|MfD]] debate with a consensus to merge the nominee into another page (or by a different user acting on such a decision).

===Instructions===

Upon removing the {{tl|mfd}} notice (if still present), add the {{tl|mfd-mergeto}} tag to the top of '''the nominated page''' (''not'' its talk page). Use the following format:

'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>mfd-mergeto|destination page|debate name|debate closure date|talk page of destination page<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

For example, assume that a debate was closed on {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}. If the consensus is to merge the nominated page into a page called ''Wikipedia:Topic X'', and the debate is located at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Topic Y (second nomination)]], the tag should be configured as follows:

'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>mfd-mergeto|Wikipedia:Topic X|Wikipedia:Topic Y (second nomination)|{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|Wikipedia talk:Topic X<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

This will generate the following notice:
{{Ombox
|type=move
|style=background:#e4d8ff
|image=[[Image:Merge-arrow.svg|50px]]
|text=This page was [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion|nominated]] for [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion]]. [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/{{{2}}}|'''The debate''']] was closed on '''{{{3}}}''' with a consensus to [[Wikipedia:Merging|merge]] the content into the page ''[[{{{1}}}]]''. If you find that such action has not been taken promptly, please consider assisting in the merger instead of re-nominating the page for deletion. To discuss the merger, please use [[Talk:{{{1}}}|the destination page's talk page]].}}

Also add the {{tl|mfd-mergefrom}} tag to the top of '''the destination page's talk page''' (''not'' the page itself). Use the following format:

'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>mfd-mergefrom|nominated page|debate name|debate closure date<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

For example, assume that a debate was closed on {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}. If the consensus is to merge a page called ''Topic Y'' into the page associated with the talk page, and the debate is located at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Topic Y (second nomination)]], the tag should be configured as follows:

'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>mfd-mergefrom|Topic Y|Topic Y (second nomination)|{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

This will generate the following notice:
{{tmbox
|type=move
|image=[[Image:Mergefrom.svg|50px]]
|text=The page ''[[{{{1}}}]]'' was [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion|nominated]] for [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion]]. [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/{{{2}}}|'''The debate''']] was closed on '''{{{3}}}''' with a consensus to [[Wikipedia:Merging|merge]] the content into ''[[:{{ARTICLEPAGENAME}}]]''. If you find that such action has not been taken promptly, please consider assisting in the merger instead of re-nominating the page for deletion. To discuss the merger, please use this talk page.}}
