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

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

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.
