Feel free to voice your opinion regarding this template.

A "merge" flag used to suggest merging of two articles.

Usage

This template should be added at the beginning of articles that duplicate effort or otherwise overlap with an existing article's scope. Ensure to rationalize the proposed merge with the second argument and possibly also on the flagged article's discussion page.

{{Merge|Article to merge with|reason}}

You can override the default discussion page with a third optional argument

{{Merge|Article to merge with|reason|Talk:Article to be merged#Merge discussion}}

Alternatively you can point to a specific section in the default talk page with the named section parameter:

{{Merge|Article to merge with|reason|section=Section name}}

Flagged pages can be found in Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Merge or in Category:Pages or sections flagged with Template:Merge. Users are encouraged to participate in merger discussions or simply complete the merge (if sensible). The {{Merge}} flag should be removed after the merge is completed or the proposal is rejected.

Note: The talk page is linked through an external link: this is to avoid polluting Special:WantedPages when the talk page does not exist.

Example

{{Merge|Template:Merge|This is just a demonstration template.}}
