'''Do not''' use the discussion procedure described below to propose:
* '''Category mergers''': Category mergers should be requested at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion]], which uses the separate {{tl|cfm}} template.
* '''History mergers''': [[Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves|History mergers]] cannot be proposed using this procedure. See [[Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves#Parallel versions]] for details.
* '''Template mergers''': Template mergers should be requested at [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion]], which uses the separate {{tl|tfm}} template.

There are several good reasons to merge pages:
 
# <span id="Duplicate" />'''Duplicate''': There are two or more pages on exactly the same subject, with the same scope.
# <span id="Overlap" />'''Overlap''': There are two or more pages on related subjects that have a large overlap. [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary|Wikipedia is not a dictionary]]; there does not need to be a separate entry for every concept. For example, "flammable" and "non-flammable" can both be explained in an article on [[flammability]].
# <span id="Text" />'''Text''': If a page is very short and is unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time, it often makes sense to merge it with a page on a broader topic. For example, parents or children of a celebrity who are otherwise unremarkable are generally covered in a section of the article on the celebrity (and can be merged there).
# <span id="Context" />'''Context''': If a short article requires the background material or context from a broader article in order for readers to understand it. For example, minor characters from works of fiction are generally covered in a "List of characters in <work>" article (and can be merged there); see also [[Wikipedia:Notability (fiction)]].
 
Merging should be avoided if:
# The resulting article is too long or "clunky"
# The separate topics could be expanded into longer standalone (but cross-linked) articles
# The topics are discrete subjects warranting their own articles, even though they might be short
 
Merging—regardless of the amount of information kept—should '''always''' leave a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] (or, in some cases, a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation page]]) in place. This is often needed to allow proper attribution through the edit history for the source page. Superfluous redirects do not harm anything, and they can be helpful in finding articles, e.g. from alternative names.

Example: if suggesting that [[Foo]] be merged into [[Bar]], create a proposal to merge Foo into Bar in a new section at [[Talk:Bar]]. Start a new section at the ''bottom'' of that talk page and include the proposal itself, the list of the affected pages, and a merger rationale. A good example is the following section:
 
<ttcode>
<nowiki>== Merger proposal ==</nowiki>
 
<nowiki>I propose that [[Foo]] be merged into [[Bar]]. I think that the content in the Foo article can easily be explained in the context of Bar, and the Bar article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Foo will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. ~~~~</nowiki>
</ttcode>
 
'''''Notify involved users (optional)''''': As an optional step, it may be necessary to notify users involved in the affected pages, who might not be [[Help:Watching pages|watchlisting]] them. Simply go to those users' talk pages and start a new section, leaving a ''neutral'' invitation to participate in the merger discussion. Make sure to provide a link to the discussion page. Please ensure that the notification of involved users does not breach [[WP:Votestacking]]; that is, canvassing support by selectively notifying editors who have or are thought to have a predetermined point of view or opinion.
 
You may also use the following standard templates on the users' talk pages:
 
<ttcode><nowiki>{{subst:</nowiki>[[Template:Mergenote|Mergenote]]<nowiki>|<source page>|<merger discussion talk page section>}}</nowiki></ttcode>
 
Example:
 
<ttcode><nowiki>{{subst:Mergenote|Foo|Talk:Bar#Merger proposal}}</nowiki></ttcode>
 
===Step 2: Tag the relevant pages===
84 वळ :
 
<pre>
* '''Merge''' - <insert reason for supporting merger here> ~~~~
* '''Don't merge''' - <insert reason for opposing merger here> ~~~~
</pre>
 
==== Caveats ====
* If you are unable to merge the pages, or you believe that the merger may be controversial, you might want to add a listing to [[Wikipedia:Proposed mergers]].
* When proposing a merger of pages within "Wikipedia" namespace (any pages that begin with the "Wikipedia:" prefix), do '''not''' include this prefix in the parameter.
* Due to technical limitations, the above templates are incompatible with cross-namespace mergers (mergers between pages from both the article and Wikipedia namespaces). Such instances are rare.
* Do '''not''' use the above templates to propose a ''category'' merger. This should be requested at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion]], which uses a separate {{tl|cfm}} template.
 
===Step 4: Close the merger discussion and determine consensus===

{{quote box|
'''General advice:'''</br>
* If you propose a merger, and nobody objects within 30 days, then it is unlikely that any editor will object to you [[Wikipedia:Be bold|boldly]] performing the merger.
* If you see a merger proposal that is older than 30 days, and nobody has objected, and you personally believe the merger is appropriate, then it is unlikely anyone will object if you [[Wikipedia:Be bold|boldly]] perform the merger.

In more unclear, controversial cases, the determination that a consensus to merge has been achieved is normally made by an editor who is neutral and not directly involved in the merger proposal or the discussion. If necessary, one may request that an [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]] who is not [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Involved admins|involved]] close the discussion and make a determination as to whether consensus has been established; such a request may be made at the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard|Administrators' noticeboard]].
 
To close a merger proposal discussion, the <ttcode>{{tl|Discussion top}}</ttcode> and <ttcode>{{tl|Discussion bottom}}</ttcode> templates are used in the following manner:
 
<ttcode>
<nowiki>== Merger proposal ==</nowiki>
 
119 वळ :
<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />
<nowiki>{{Discussion bottom}}</nowiki>
</ttcode>
 
After closing the merger proposal discussion, place the following template on the source page's talk page:
 
<ttcode><nowiki>{{Old merge full|otherpage=<destination page>|date=<date merger was proposed>|result=<result of discussion>|talk=<merger discussion talk page section>}}</nowiki></ttcode>
 
===Step 5: Perform the merger ===
See [[#How to merge]], below. The main reason that the merger backlog includes more than ten thousand articles is because the people who support the merger neglect to undertake this final step. '''Any editor, including you''' is permitted to perform mergers in accordance with consensus. Merging pages does ''not'' require intervention from an administrator.
 
135 वळ :
Add the following template to the top of each source page:
 
<ttcode><nowiki>{{Merge|OtherPage1|OtherPage2|OtherPage3|target=<destination page>|discuss=<merger discussion talk page section>|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></ttcode>
 
Add the following template to the top of the destination page:
 
<ttcode><nowiki>{{Merge from|OtherPage1|OtherPage2|OtherPage3|discuss=<merger discussion talk page section>|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></ttcode>
 
===Controversial mergers===
148 वळ :
While mergers are generally not proposed [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#Before nominating an article for deletion|from the onset]] of [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion (AfD) discussions]] (also see [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion]]), it is not uncommon for editors, in an effort to mediate and/or compromise, to suggest that the article(s) nominated for deletion instead be ''merged'' to a parent article. If there is a rough consensus for a merger at the end of a deletion discussion, the following template is placed at the top of the nominated article:
 
<ttcode><nowiki>{{Afd-merge to|destination article|debate name|debate closure date}}</nowiki></ttcode>
 
Similarly, the following template is placed on the destination article's talk page:
 
<ttcode><nowiki>{{Afd-merge from|nominated article|debate name|debate closure date}}</nowiki></ttcode>
 
This informs users involved in those pages that content is to be merged as a result of a deletion discussion. It is the ''involved editors' job'', not the ''closing administrators' job'', to perform the merger. Proceed in the manner described above.

There are two basic types of merger; which to use depends on how much content of the source page you want to keep:
* [[#SelectiveFull-content paste merger|SelectiveFull-content paste merger]] - somemost content, clean butand slowfast▼
 
* [[#Full-contentSelective paste merger|Full-contentSelective paste merger]] - mostsome content, clean andbut fastslow
▲*[[#Selective paste merger|Selective paste merger]] - some content, clean but slow
 
Also remember that almost all article pages have a [[Wikipedia:Talk page|talk page]]. To avoid losing quick access to that historical discussion, a link to the source article's talk-page should be placed at the top of the destination article's talk-page, such as:<br> <code><nowiki>Article merged: See old talk-page [[talk:PAGENAME|here]]</nowiki></code><!-- Note: If accepted, should add as step 8's below --><br />
or use [[Template:Copied|Template:Copied]]: <br /> {{tlx|Copied|from{{=}}source|from_oldid{{=}}source|to{{=}}destination|diff{{=}}|date{{=}}}}
 
 
Perform the following steps to merge an article into another article:
 
# '''Copy''' all or some of the content from the source page(s) and '''paste''' the content in an appropriate location at the destination page. Save the edit, leaving the following edit summary (as required by the [[Wikipedia:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License|Creative Commons Share-alike 3.0 license]]):
#:: <code><nowiki>Merged content from [[</nowiki>''<source&nbsp;page>''<nowiki>]] to here. See [[Talk:</nowiki>''<merger discussion talk page section>''<nowiki>]].</nowiki></code>
#: Ideally, do any necessary copyediting and rearranging in a separate, second edit rather than when you first paste the moved text. (This two-step approach simplifies attribution for the license by separating your contributions from the material that was created at the other page.)
# '''[[Wikipedia:Redirect|Redirect]]''' the source page whose content was just merged by replacing ''everything'' with the following:
#:: <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[</nowiki>''<destination page>''<nowiki>]]</nowiki> {{tl|R from merge}}</code>
#: If the content was merged to a single section within the destination page, it is recommended that the source page be redirected directly to that section. In that case, replace ''everything'' with the following:
#:: <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[</nowiki>''<destination page>#<nowiki><section name></nowiki>''<nowiki>]]</nowiki> {{tl|R from merge}} {{tl|R to section}}</code>
#: Save the page, leaving the following edit summary: (also required by the CC-BY-SA):
#:: <code><nowiki>Merged content to [[</nowiki>''<destination page>#<destination section, if applicable>''<nowiki>]]. See [[Talk:</nowiki>''<merger discussion talk page section>''<nowiki>]].</nowiki></code>
# '''Tag''' the destination page's talk page with <nowiki>{{merged-from|source page|date}}</nowiki>, and the source page's talk page with <nowiki>{{merged-to|destination page|date}}</nowiki>. Place these tags at the top of the talk pages.
#:: As an alternative, experienced users can add <code>{{tlx|Copied|from|from_oldid|to|to_diff|to_oldid|date}}</code> to both talk pages. Place at the top of the talk pages.
# '''Check''' [[Special:WhatLinksHere]] for the source page and fix any [[Wikipedia:Double redirects|double redirects]]. Otherwise, a bot should fix any such problems within a day or two.
# '''Provide further attribution''' by using the {{tl|Merged-to}} and {{tl|Merged-from}} templates, if not already done in step 3. See the template's documentation for more details. If the source page has any merged or copied templates, for example, you will need to copy those tags to the destination page.
# '''Check''' the merged content for [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|non-free]] files. If any of these files are present, edit the [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|non-free use rationalerationales]]s to replace the old article title with the new one. This is required under the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content criteria]].
 
=== Full-content paste merger ===
Line 224 ⟶ 222:
Performing a merger in this manner is beneficial when the source document includes a great deal of material that is not needed in the final article.
 
== Pages to merge==
* Current pages tagged for merging can be found at [[:Category:Articles to be merged]], and [[:Category:Merge by month]] lists pages that have been tagged for merging on a particular month (tagging began in September 2006).
