Template:Merged-from

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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

If the talk page is located in a different namespace (e.g. Wikipedia talk)

target

The target page, if not the subject page (e.g. for a merge to a talk page)

Example:

• {{merged-from|foo|12 January 2025}} — 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=}}
