This template will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be merged. This template combines the {{Merge-multiple}} and the {{Mergeto}} templates. It accepts 1-20 articles to be merged into a main article.

Usage and Examples

{{Merge |Article 1 |Article 2 |Article 3 |with=Main article |date=Month Year|User:Example}}

Example

{{Merge |Satan |Demon |with=Devil |date=July 2007|User:Example}}

Tips

1. The template automatically links to the talk page of the main article, specified by the param with=.
2. Generally, the problem is no discussion is started, so please begin the discussion with your rationale.
3. Do not use square brackets to link articles; it is automatically done. The Talk link is always shown as pipetricked to (discuss).
4. The date= parameter must be lowercase, not Date=.
   1. The date= value must be the proper full name of the month followed by a space and the four digits of the year.
   2. However using the substituted date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} ensures the category links will be formated properly, and is compatible with date coded tagging on most maintenance templates. Typing date=July 2007 will quickly become second nature.
   3. If you leave the date parameter off, a WP:BOT will generally add it in a day or two.
5. Username (or other optional info which could be added to the main {{tl:Merge}} template) is not possible for inclusion in this template since the template will consider the first twenty parameters as page names for merging.
