Usage

  • {{merge topic|to=PAGENAME}}
  • {{merge topic|from=PAGENAME}}

Best practice

  • Always follow the "merged to" template immediately with ~~~~.
    • This alerts users to when the change was made, and more importantly, lets archivers use discretion in when to archive a merged topic.
  • Refer each link to the exact section of the relevant page.
  • Do not continue discussion at locations which have been marked with the red "merged to" notice, continue it instead under the corresponding green "merged from" notice at the new location.
    • As a courtesy, allow 24-48 hours for those discussing at the "old" page to see the notice and catch up at the "new" page before archiving.
