Template:Mfd-merge to/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Mfd-merge to. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template may have no transclusions, because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason. |
Description
[edit]The {{mfd-mergeto}} and {{mfd-mergefrom}} templates are intended for use by an editor who closes an MfD debate with a consensus to merge the nominee into another page (or by a different user acting on such a decision).
Instructions
[edit]Upon removing the {{mfd}} notice (if still present), add the {{mfd-mergeto}} tag to the top of the nominated page (not its talk page). Use the following format:
{{mfd-mergeto|destination page|debate name|debate closure date|talk page of destination page}}
For example, assume that a debate was closed on 18 December 2024. 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:
{{mfd-mergeto|Wikipedia:Topic X|Wikipedia:Topic Y (second nomination)|18 December 2024|Wikipedia talk:Topic X}}
This will generate the following notice:
This page was nominated for deletion. The debate was closed on 18 December 2024 with a consensus to merge the content into the page Wikipedia:Topic X. 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 the destination page's talk page. |
Also add the {{mfd-mergefrom}} tag to the top of the destination page's talk page (not the page itself). Use the following format:
{{mfd-mergefrom|nominated page|debate name|debate closure date}}
For example, assume that a debate was closed on 18 December 2024. 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:
{{mfd-mergefrom|Wikipedia:Topic Y|Wikipedia:Topic Y (second nomination)|18 December 2024}}
This will generate the following notice:
The page Wikipedia:Topic Y was nominated for deletion. The debate was closed on 18 December 2024 with a consensus to merge the content into Template:Mfd-merge to/doc. 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. |
