Description
The {{Afd-merge to}} and {{Afd-merge from}} templates are intended for use by a sysop who closes an AfD debate with a consensus to merge the nominee into another article (or by a different user acting on such a decision).
Instructions
Upon removing the {{afd}} notice (if still present), add the {{Afd-merge to}} tag to the top of the nominated article (not its talk page). Use the following format:
{{Afd-merge to|destination article|debate name|debate closure date}}
For example, assume that a debate was closed on 22 December 2024. If the consensus is to merge the nominated article into an article called Topic X, and the debate is located at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Topic Y (second nomination), the tag should be configured as follows:
{{Afd-merge to|Topic X|Topic Y (second nomination)|22 December 2024}}
This will generate the following notice:
| This article was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 22 December 2024 with a consensus to merge the content into the article Topic X. If you find that such action has not been taken promptly, please consider assisting in the merger instead of re-nominating the article for deletion. To discuss the merger, please use the destination article's talk page. (December 2024) |
Also add the {{Afd-merge from}} tag to the top of the destination article's talk page (not the article itself). Use the following format:
{{Afd-merge from|nominated article|debate name|debate closure date}}
For example, assume that a debate was closed on 22 December 2024. If the consensus is to merge an article called Topic Y into the article associated with the talk page, and the debate is located at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Topic Y (second nomination), the tag should be configured as follows:
{{Afd-merge from|Topic Y|Topic Y (second nomination)|22 December 2024}}
This will generate the following notice:
 | The article Topic Y was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 22 December 2024 with a consensus to merge the content into Template:Afd-merge to. If you find that such action has not been taken promptly, please consider assisting in the merger instead of re-nominating the article for deletion. To discuss the merger, please use this talk page. Do not remove this template after completing the merger. A bot will replace it with {{afd-merged-from}}. |
Category suppression
This template will add the categories Category:Articles to be merged and Category:Articles to be merged after an Articles for deletion discussion. These categories can be suppressed by using |nocat=true.
