Which merge template should I use?

सम्पादन

Do not place this tag on a Wikipedia WP:template or WP:category—instead see below for instructions.

  • To propose a merge of at least two articles together at an unspecified location, use {{Merge|OtherPage}}
  • To propose a merge of the contents of the tagged article into the specified article, use {{Merge to|OtherPage}}
  • To propose that the contents of the specified article should be merged into the tagged article, use {{Merge from|OtherPage}} – the opposite of {{Merge to}};
  • To suggest merging only some material from one article to another, use {{Move portions from|SourcePage}} and {{Move portions|TargetPage}}

These templates are used primarily to identify potential merges that would benefit from discussion. If for some reason it is obvious that a merge would be appropriate, then you may boldly merge the pages yourself without tagging and without discussion. Some editors also use these tags to mark pages that obviously require merging and in the hope that someone else will merge the pages, although this is not how these templates are intended to be used. Obvious cases should simply be merged rather than tagged and forgotten about.

After adding the merge template, you are expected to create a section on the talk page of the appropriate article (see below for details) explaining your rationale for the merge proposal. If the rationale is so obvious that it requires no explanation, then you should consider boldly merging the pages yourself rather than setting up a discussion.

किसी एक पन्ने को टैग करने के लिए:

  1. REDIRECT खाँचा:markup

जब आप एक आसान विलय को प्रस्ताव के रूप में रखते हुये उस पर चर्चा करना चाहते हों, दोनों को टैग करें: {{markup |

  1. REDIRECT खाँचा:markup
  1. REDIRECT खाँचा:markup

This allows editors at both pages to see both the proposed source and target.

By default, the Discuss link on the template links to the top of the destination page's talk page. To specify which section, or to name a different talk page entirely, use the |discuss= parameter:

{{विलय |OtherPage |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=दिसम्बर २०२४}}

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

{{विलय |OtherPage1 |OtherPage2 |OtherPage3 |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=दिसम्बर २०२४}}


If you are placing the template in a section, you can use |section=yes to change the wording to reflect this:

{{विलय |OtherPage |discuss=Talk:OtherPage#Merge discussion |date=दिसम्बर २०२४ |section=yes}}
  • Do not link to the pages with square brackets.
    For example, write {{Merge|OtherArticle}}, not {{Merge|[[OtherArticle]]}}.
  • The date may not be shown in the box. Do not be concerned about this. It is used when grouping tagged pages together into categories by date.
  • These templates will add tagged articles to श्रेणी:विलय करने योग्य सभी लेख, while non-articles (files, templates, etc.) will be added to श्रेणी:विलय करने योग्य.
  • For {{Merge}}, if you are specifying a merge of two or more pages in different namespaces, the template supports this via specification of the full page name, including the namespace prefix. |nspace= can take on namespace values, which fixes all params to the namespace specified.
  • Do not subst: these templates.

There is no deadline for completing proposed merges. Pages that have been tagged for a long time (frequently more than one year) generally fall into these groups:

Discussion supported the proposed merge, but no one did it yet
Feel free to merge the pages yourself.
Discussion opposed merge, but nobody removed the tags
Feel free to remove the tags yourself.
No discussion found
Feel free to remove the tags if you believe the merge would be a poor choice, or to boldly merge the pages if you believe the merge would be appropriate. Or feel free to start a discussion if you are uncertain or feel it would be controversial.
