Template:Mfd-merge from

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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 7 March 2025. 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)|7 March 2025|Wikipedia talk:Topic X}

This will generate the following notice:

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 7 March 2025. 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)|7 March 2025}

This will generate the following notice:
