== Which merge template should I use? ==
* {{tlx|Merge}} &ndash; to merge at least two together at an unspecified location
* {{tlx|Merge to}} &ndash; to merge the contents of the tagged article ''into'' the specified article.
* {{tlx|Merge from}} &ndash; the opposite of {{tlx|Merge to}}; the contents of the specified article should be merged into the tagged article.

== Usage ==
Tagging a single page is simple:

: <code>{{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |OtherPage&nbsp;|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }}</code>

By default, the {{Color|#002BB8|Discuss}} link on the template links to the top of the destination page's [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]. To specify which section, or to name a different talk page entirely, use the {{para|discuss}} parameter:

: <code>{{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |OtherPage&nbsp;|discuss{{=}}Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion&nbsp;|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }}</code>

To name other pages to be merged, simply separate them with a vertical pipe. You can add up to 20 articles to be merged:

: <code>{{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |OtherPage1&nbsp;|OtherPage2&nbsp;|OtherPage3&nbsp;|discuss{{=}}Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion&nbsp;|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }}</code>

{{#ifeq:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Merge|To name multiple pages to merge ''into'' a single page, use the {{para|target}} parameter. For example, to merge the tagged page, as well as OtherPage1, OtherPage2, and OtherPage3 into OtherPage4, use:

: <code>{{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}} |OtherPage1&nbsp;|OtherPage2&nbsp;|OtherPage3&nbsp;|target{{=}}OtherPage4&nbsp;|discuss{{=}}Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion&nbsp;|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }}</code>}}<!-- ifeq end -->

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]].

== Notes ==
* If you want to propose merging a '''category''', you must do so at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion]], using the specific templates available there.

* If you want to propose merging a '''template''', you must do so at [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion]], using the specific templates available there.

* '''Do not add the namespace''' to the names of the pages.

: For example, write {{tlx|Merge|OtherTemplate}}, not {{tlx|Merge|Template:OtherTemplate}}.

* '''Do not link to the pages''' with square brackets.

: For example, write {{tlx|Merge|OtherArticle}}, not {{tlx|Merge|&#91;&#91;OtherArticle&#93;&#93;}}.

* The date ''will not'' be shown in the box. Do not be concerned about this. It is used when grouping tagged pages together into categories by date.
