NOTE: To Make a formal Merge Request; please go to the Proposed Article Mergers page
Individual article merge discussions SHOULD NOT be started on this page.

"Being" templates is missing a template

{{being merged}} and {{being split}} is missing an associated template {{being transferred}}. The destination of a split/merge where content is split from one page and moved into another, can use {{being split}} from the source page, but the destination page cannot use {{being merged}} as that template explains the source article would be converted to redirect to it. This wouldn't be the case with a split/merge, where the source page would continue to exist. A relevant target template to explain that a portion of the source page is being merged into the target (template's article subject page, where the transclusion is). -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 03:07, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

seeking wider input on a potential merge

Sketchfab into Fab (website) Arlo James Barnes 19:41, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I closed it as stale with no case made; see Talk:Sketchfab#merge with Fab (website)?; there was also no support. Klbrain (talk) 10:01, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

merged-from template use

It seems to me, the purpose of {{afd-merged-from}} is licensing-required attribution of merged content. Is that correct? If then, an AFD was closed as a merger decision, but in the end, nothing was merged but instead merely redirected, is that template still the appropriate one to use? — Fourthords | =Λ= | 21:11, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree; I wouldn't use it for a redirect. Klbrain (talk) 09:59, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scottie McClue

Someone has merged the Scottie McClue Colin Lamont pages they have been separated for years very confusing for fans 😳 2A00:23C8:1EA1:A601:983A:C2FF:FE8A:4FFA (talk) 01:43, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to refer to Colin Lamont. Visit Talk:Colin_Lamont#One_article/two_articles, read it, keep scrolling down and read some more. You could add comments on that page, if you think they haven't been covered enough already. Commander Keane (talk) 05:34, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's true that someone ('twas me!) merged them, back in 2019 ... it looks like fans haven't been that concerned over the last 5 years. The merge was back in 2019 following a 2017 merge discussion. Klbrain (talk) 09:58, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
