This page lists '''proposed [[Wikipedia:Merging|article mergers]] as a supplement to the [[:Category:Articles to be merged|merge categories]]; it is an index of ongoing discussions of possible mergers, and does ''not'' replace any of the other steps in the [[Wikipedia:Merging#Proposing a merger |merger process]]. Please add the appropriate [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Merging |merger tag(s)]] to the articles before listing them here.'''  To see all articles marked for merging, see [[Wikipedia:Proposed mergers#All articles tagged for merging|All articles tagged for merging]].
Prior to being merged into [[WP:AFD|AfD]], the '''Proposed article mergers''' [[WP:PNB|noticeboard]] was used to draw attention to active discussions to merge articles. To begin new merge discussion, editors followed the now-historical instructions at {{Section link|#Historical merge proposal procedure}}. If a merge is unlikely to be contested, you can still [[WP:BOLD|be bold]] and complete it without initiating a discussion. If your merge is later contested, another editor can [[WP:BRD|revert and discuss it]].

<div style="text-align: center;">
On 24 March 2026, [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Merging merge discussions with AfD|there was consensus to merge the proposed article mergers (PAM) process into AfD]]. What follows is the historical process for initiating formal merge discussions, prior to the merge with AfD.
'''Mergers of <u>CATEGORIES</u> should <u>not</u> be proposed here. Please see [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion]].'''<br />
'''Mergers of <u>TEMPLATES</u> should <u>not</u> be proposed here. Please see [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion]].'''<br />
'''<u>SPLITTING of ARTICLES</u> should <u>not</u> be proposed here. Please see  [[Wikipedia:Proposed article splits]].'''
</div>


[[File:Merge-arrows.svg|100px|frameless|right]]
If the need for a merge is obvious, editors are encouraged to [[Wikipedia:Be bold|be bold]] and simply do it themselves. While bold merges may be reverted entirely, the process and the [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|discussion after the revert]] results in better articles. Young or short articles and [[Wikipedia:STUB|stubs]] that only differ in wording should be merged immediately. Longer articles that have been separate for a long time are usually discussed first, especially if they are about controversial topics. If the merge is difficult to perform or is potentially controversial, you may now open a discussion following the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]].


==When to propose a merger==
===<span class="anchor" id="1"></span>Step 1: Create a discussion===
{{Main|Wikipedia:Merging}}
{{shortcut|WP:M1}}This is usually done on the proposed destination page's talk page. For example, if suggesting that [[Foo|Source page]] be merged into [[Destination page]], create a proposal in a new section at [[Talk:Destination page]]. If the destination does not exist, do not create its talk page.


There are three types of mergers on Wikipedia:
Create a new topic and include '''the list of the affected pages and a merge rationale'''. For example:
:1): Mergers that are so obviously necessary and appropriate that no one is expected to object;
:2): Mergers that would benefit from discussion with the other editors at the affected articles' Talk page about ''whether'' and/or ''how'' to perform the merge; and
:3): Mergers that are '''<u>controversial</u>''', potentially '''<u>difficult to carry out</u>''', or where at least one affected article is either rated '''<u>Class B or higher</u>''' or is '''<u>over 100K in size</u>''' will need assistance from uninvolved editor(s) in determining whether to merge the pages.


If the pages that you would like to merge fall into the '''type 1 group''' above, then it is <u>not necessary to propose a merger at all</u>. You should [[wp:Bold|boldly]] do the merger now, without formally proposing it. (In the event that someone unexpectedly objects, then the merger can be undone easily, and you can formally propose the merger for discussion at that time.)
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">== Merge proposal ==
I propose merging [[SOURCEPAGES]] into [[DESTINATIONPAGE]]. I think the content in SOURCEPAGE can easily be explained in the context of this article, and merging them would not cause any article-size or [[WP:UNDUE|weighting]] problems. ~~~~</syntaxhighlight>


[[File:Merge-arrows.svg|100px|frameless|right]]
If a merge proposal has been incorrectly created on the source's talk page and the proposed destination is unambiguous and exists, any editor can move the discussion to the talk page of the ''destination page'', to increase its visibility. Use the {{Tl|Moved to}} and {{Tl|Moved from}} templates.


==How to propose a merger==
Optionally, you can notify contributors to the pages involved. One way is to [[Wikipedia:Notifications#Notification messages|ping]] them in a comment on the merge proposal, such as <code>{{tlx|ping|User1|User2|User3|...}}<nowiki> Notifying contributors to the articles. ~~~~</nowiki></code>. Alternatively, create a new topic on those users' talk pages with {{tlx|Mergenote|PAGENAME|Talk:PAGENAME#Merge proposal|subst=true}}. Respect ''neutrality'' when making invitations to participate in the discussion; [[Wikipedia:VOTESTACKING|selectively notifying editors]] is not allowed.
{{Main|Wikipedia:Proposed mergers/Merger banners|Wikipedia:Merging}}


If the merge falls into the '''type 2 group''' or '''type 3 group''' above, then proposing a merger can be done in three steps (as the proposer, you should still be willing to carry-out a  '''type 2 merge'''):
===<span class="anchor" id="2"></span>Step 2: Tag the relevant pages===
*Step 1: Create a place for discussion. Go to the Talk Page (also known as the discussion page) of the TARGET ARTICLE (the one you want to ''merge to'') and create a section (eg: "Merger proposal") to discuss the merger. If there's already a discussion on the talk page regarding the merger, you can omit this step. Whether the discussion is new or old, make sure the discussion section <u>names all articles involved and links to them</u>. The section name can be anything that includes the word ''merge'' (for example <code><nowiki>==Merger discussion==</nowiki></code>).
{{shortcut|WP:M2}}To propose merging:
*Step 2: Put one of the [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Merging|merger tags]] at the top of the articles you wish to be merged. The templates {{tl|Merge from}} and {{tl|Merge to}}, or {{tl|merge}} are the most common ones. Remember to make sure that the ''Discuss'' link in each tag points to the section you've created in step 1 (this is to prevent having two separate discussions on different talk pages).
* '''two articles together:''' place {{tlx|Merge to|DESTINATIONPAGE|3=discuss=Talk:DESTINATIONPAGE#Merge proposal |4=date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }} at the top of the source page, and {{tlx|Merge from|SOURCEPAGE|3=discuss=Talk:DESTINATIONPAGE#Merge proposal |4=date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }} at the top of the proposed destination article or section.
*Step 3: If the proposed merge is '''type 3''' (above) follow the directions under [[#Requests for merge assistance and feedback]] to add it to the list.
** If you don't already know which article should be merged and which should remain, place {{tlx|Merge|OTHERPAGE|3=discuss=Talk:PAGE#Merge proposal |4=date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} }} on ''both'' pages.


'''See: [[Wikipedia:Proposed mergers/Merger banners|Copy and Paste easy merge templates]]''' for easy to follow shortcuts of the above procedure.
* '''many articles into an existing article:''' place {{tlx|Merge|OTHERSOURCEPAGES|3=...|4=target=DESTINATIONPAGE |5=discuss=Talk:DESTINATIONPAGE#Merge proposal |6=date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} on all source pages, and {{tlx|Merge from|SOURCEPAGE1|SOURCEPAGE2|4=... |5=discuss=Talk:DESTINATIONPAGE#Merge proposal |6=date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} at the top of the proposed destination article or section.


[[File:Merge-arrows.svg|100px|frameless|right]]
* '''many articles into a page that doesn't exist yet:''' place {{tlx|Merge|2=target=DESTINATIONPAGE|3=SOURCEPAGE1|4=SOURCEPAGE2 |5=... |6=discuss=Talk:SOURCEPAGE#Merge proposal|7=date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} on each source page.


==Requests for merge assistance and feedback==
Always use the {{Para|discuss}} parameter to link to the ''same discussion'' on all pages; otherwise, two separate discussions could take place.{{Efn|If the parameter is not specified, the notices lead to the top of each article's talk page. In {{tl|Merge to}} and {{tl|Merge from}}, it always leads to the destination talk page, but it is still preferable to link to a specific section of the talk page. When proposing a cross-[[WP:NAMESPACE|namespace]] merge, these templates won't work correctly.}}
If you need outside feedback regarding '''mergers that are either tricky or of a controversial nature''', please do the following:
*Tag the article as shown above
*Create a discussion as shown above
*Notify the talk page of the appropriate '''Wikiproject''' to get knowledgeable people to comment on it. (To find out which Wikiproject the page is associated with, check the associated talk page. It should be tagged with a template, such as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey]].)
*If there is consensus to merge, but the merge is difficult, request help at [[Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Merge|Merge Talk]] for assistance.


For other topics:
===<span class="anchor" id="3"></span>Step 3: Discuss the merge===
*If you need help with renaming or moving, consult [[Wikipedia:Moving a page]].
{{shortcut|WP:M3}}
*'''Cut-and-paste move fixes''': If you have moved an article by this [[deprecate]]d method, then you need to request page histories to be merged; list them at [[Wikipedia:Requests for history merge|requests for history merge]]. Please <u>DO NOT</u> perform further moves by cut and paste.


'''NOTE: <u>Please do not re-list old merge proposals that are already tagged and in the "to Merge" queue'''</u> (including requests made up to two years ago), as these will be handled as we get to them. -''Project Merge''
Make sure to follow [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|standard talk page guidelines]] and be clear and concise. Usually, a hybrid discussion/straw poll is used, but remember that [[Wikipedia:Polling is not a substitute for discussion|polling is not a substitute for discussion]]. Example:


If you need assistance with proposing a merge, list it below and someone will make sure it's properly listed. Note that this will not get the merge completed, as there is a large merge backlog. After a merge is listed properly, move it to the "{{pslink|Answered requests}}" or "{{pslink|Awaiting consensus}}" sections below as appropriate.
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
* '''Merge''' – The scope of the articles is the same.  ~~~~
* '''Don't merge''' – The resulting article would be too long. ~~~~
</syntaxhighlight>During the course of the discussion, editors may suggest merging pages that were not part of the original proposal. When this happens, [[Wikipedia:M2|add the merge templates]] to those additional pages and ensure that adequate time is provided for editors to comment before the discussion is closed.


[[File:Merge-arrows.svg|100px|frameless|right]]
===<span class="anchor" id="4"></span><span class="anchor" id="Step 4: Determine consensus and close the merge discussion"></span>Step 4: Close the discussion===
{{shortcut|WP:MERGECLOSE|WP:M4}}


==Merge requests==
During discussion, a [[Wikipedia:Consensus|rough consensus]] may emerge to proceed with the merge. '''Any user, including the user who first proposed the merge,''' may close the discussion and move forward with the merge if enough time has elapsed (normally 7 days or more) and the consensus is clear or [[Wikipedia:Silence and consensus|there has been no discussion]]. Closing of merge discussions differs from [[Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Who can close requested moves|closing of requested move discussions]] in that closings of uncontroversial merge discussions by [[WP:NACINV|involved users]] are allowed.
{{shortcut|WP:MERGEREQ}}


Please list new requests at the '''bottom''' of New Requests section.  
In more unclear, controversial cases, the determination that a consensus to merge has or has not been achieved should be made by an editor who is neutral and not directly involved in the merge proposal or the discussion. The discussion can be listed at the [[Wikipedia:Proposed mergers|Proposed article mergers noticeboard]] to attract the attention of more editors. If necessary, you can request that an [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Involved admins|uninvolved editor]] close the discussion at the [[Wikipedia:Closure requests|Closure requests noticeboard]]. {{Anchor|MergeReverse}} If a consensus is formed against the merge shortly after it was performed, it can easily be reversed.
:1) Preceed your request with <b>*'''Merge''' </b> (Copy and Paste it);
:2) Enter (at least) a link to the article to be redirected in the <u> [[H:ES|edit summary]]</u>;.
:3) Please legitimize your request by signing each listing or comment by typing four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>); remember, unsigned requests may not be honored.

*'''Merge''' [[Talk:List of text-based massively multiplayer online role-playing games]] into [[Talk:List of massively multiplayer online role-playing games]]. I've already merged the text-based article into the latter list as users on both talk pages have proposed in the past. I expected no objections so I was WP:BOLD and just performed this merger myself immediately. However, it's probably useful to merge the talk pages as well, even if the text-based talk page has barely been edited in 11 years, because it could still be useful for others to read in the future, and they probably won't know these comments can be found on the talk page of the redirect. I'm not sure how to do this, I could copypaste it all or cut and paste it all, but maybe there is a better way of chronologically merging them?

* <b>'''Merge'''</b>: I propose merging [[British National (Overseas) passport]] into [[British National (Overseas)]] and [[British passport]]. The BN(O) passport article has significant overlap with the other two. Background information for the status itself is covered in great detail in the main BN(O) article. Information like endorsements, physical appearance, and issuance are all dealt with in the British passport article. Given that almost the entire BN(O) passport article duplicates information already detailed in the other two articles, I feel that it should be considered for merging. Additionally, the article contains entire sections that are uncited or very poorly cited and contains non-free images (all UK passport images continue to be covered under [[Crown copyright]]).

*'''Merge''' : I propose merging [[Object theory]] into [[Object language]], as the former article is based around a grave misunderstanding of the latter - it seems somebody had confused the phrase "object theory" for being a distinct area of mathematics, rather than merely a theory (in the sense of [[Model theory]]) which is the object of a metatheory (in the sense of [[Object language]]). Some authors will use the phrases "object language" and "object theory" synonymously, whereas others will only use the former term in reference to the underlying language of the object theory, absent of rules of inference or axioms - in either case, it certainly isn't whatever the author of [[Object language]] seems to be suggesting.

* <b>'''Merge'''</b>: I propose merging the [[SIT Graduate Institute]] and [[SIT Study Abroad]] articles into the existing [[School for International Training]] page (which currently misleadingly redirects to the [[SIT Graduate Institute]] article). SIT is one single, small institution with two primary departments. The existence of these two separate articles is redundant. The information about SIT Study Abroad and SIT Graduate Institute would be better presented as sections within the School for International Training article which should rightfully present information about the institution as a whole. It's odd that Wikipedia would maintain two articles about departments within a school but not have an article about the actual school itself. The renewed School for International Training article schould also include updated logos from the institution, as the ones on the two separate pages right now appear to be outdated.

* <b>'''Merge'''</b>: I propose merging [[Tuskegee Syphilis Study]] (71k, B class), [[Guatemala syphilis experiments]] (26k), and [[Terre Haute prison experiments]] (2k) as [[United States Public Health Service Syphilis Studies]].  The primary reason is to more appropriately name the articles for the funding, initiating, controlling party.  Separating into three articles, each with <u>location</u> as the <u>first</u> word inappropriately obscures the driving party in all three cases, and connections between the three cases.  In the seminal ''informed consent'' cases of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, the reference names identify compounds erected or seized '''<u>explicitly for</u>''' inhumane purposes -- so using those names besmirches no good deeds. Moreover, Auschwitz and Buchenwald are now '''<u>closed</u>'''  memorials.  Though local governance failed to protect their charges from PHS abuse, PHS was the controlling actor, and earned the '''<u>title</u>''' role.  Wikipedia should not continue with titles that invite misinterpretation.  COVID-19 makes 2021 an especially bad time to highlight PHS errors.  Still, we Wikipedians face a recurring challenge: ''Where the most common phrasing distorts the known history by misreporting agency, highlighting minor parties instead of major/controlling parties -- should we continue to reinforce that distortion because it's common/popular?''  While merging would make a long article, it would be far from our longest.  Bringing the articles together could better convey the connected nature of the events and improve overall reader understanding. The articles <u>should</u> be merged and renamed -- even if we postpone publishing the revision for some agreed interval. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:LoneStarNot|User:LoneStarNot]] ([[User talk:LoneStarNot#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/User:LoneStarNot|contribs]]) </span>

Yes, there are pages in English for BOTH terms, pages translated in both cases in many languages ​​... BUT the [[Puck (mythology)]] page uses Puck or Púca indifferently for these creatures, ditto for the Púca page, the two terms are entirely synonymous and describe the same creature, there are just variations in the writing according to the regions, indicated on both pages (''Pooka'', ''Phouka'', ''Pwca'', etc.) and a common Celtic origin, both pages giving more or less the same information, just formulated differently, as well as most of the same examples in popular culture (a true ''tomayto-tomahto'' case). If some other creatures (I mean those with a common ancestry) have evolved into different creatures or at least with enough specificities to be considered as such ([[Korrigan|Poulpiquet]], [[Pixie]], [[Bucca (mythological creature)|Bucca]]), a bit like different "species" or "subspecies", this is not the case between Puck and Púca, treated as identical. The two should be merged and a redirect link put on [[Púca]]. Oh, Shakespeare's [[Puck (A Midsummer Night's Dream)|Puck]], inspired (as said on BOTH pages) by the creature, has its own page (justified, as he is a specific Puck / Púca, I just wanted to clarify that none of the pages are about him -or when they are, they are equally so). --[[User:Zeynel|Zeynel]] ([[User talk:Zeynel|talk]]) 23:45, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

* '''Merge''': I propose merging [[Web television]] with [[Streaming television]], following the guidance outlined on [[WP:MERGEINIT]]. In 2009, there was [[Talk:Web television#Merge Web and Internet Television?|a similar merge]], also posted on the [[Talk:Streaming television#Merge Internet and Web Television?|Steaming Television page]] but there was no consensus for a merger. However, a [[Talk:Web television#The future of "Web television" isn't what it used to be|2010 comment]] said that term "peaked in 2008." In 2016, there was [[Talk:Web television#Usage of term "web television"|another discussion calling for a merger]], but the discussion ended in 2018, with a merger never implemented. Recently, I began a discussion about this on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television#Web television, Streaming television and what to do about these pages|WikiProject Television]], but that discussion ended without any resolution and only a few users contributed. Due to the importance of this subject and the fact that the terms [[web television]] and [[streaming television]] are used here and there on pages, I would say this issue is definitely an important one that merits discussion.

The article about the municipality is what appears when searching for Sandnes on Google and Google Maps.

*'''Merge''' ''[[Trump v. Deutsche Bank AG]]'' into ''[[Trump v. Mazars USA, LLP]].'' The lower court cases were consolidated into one Supreme Court case with a single opinion, and that is what will be remembered for posterity. We can simply combine the backgrounds of each case into one Background section (since each bank had a different background with their case). The source page is empty, outdated, and lacking in info, and users have noted that on both articles and talk pages and said they should be joined together. One example of this is ''[[Colorado Department of State v. Baca]]'' which is merged into ''[[Chiafalo v. Washington]]'' since they are both consolidated for one opinion, and thus have the same article. I added the merge banners for the Trump articles and opened a merge discussion, but it doesn't make an official merge notice on the talk page.

*'''Merge''' [[The Incorruptibles]] into [[John Hornor Jacobs]]. The micro-stub at ''The Incorruptibles'' has already been deleted at AfD once, and was simply recreated in essentially the same form, without any better sourcing. This is actually a speedy deletion candidate. I think it would be more productive to merge the tiny amount of material there into the author's article, which is itself a tiny stub, and start fleshing that article out a bit more concerning the author's other works. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''']] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] 😼 </span> 21:05, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

TemplateStyles' src attribute must not be empty.

Prior to being merged into AfD, the Proposed article mergers noticeboard was used to draw attention to active discussions to merge articles. To begin new merge discussion, editors followed the now-historical instructions at § Historical merge proposal procedure. If a merge is unlikely to be contested, you can still be bold and complete it without initiating a discussion. If your merge is later contested, another editor can revert and discuss it.

Historical merge proposal process

On 24 March 2026, there was consensus to merge the proposed article mergers (PAM) process into AfD. What follows is the historical process for initiating formal merge discussions, prior to the merge with AfD.

If the need for a merge is obvious, editors are encouraged to be bold and simply do it themselves. While bold merges may be reverted entirely, the process and the discussion after the revert results in better articles. Young or short articles and stubs that only differ in wording should be merged immediately. Longer articles that have been separate for a long time are usually discussed first, especially if they are about controversial topics. If the merge is difficult to perform or is potentially controversial, you may now open a discussion following the instructions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.

Step 1: Create a discussion

This is usually done on the proposed destination page's talk page. For example, if suggesting that Source page be merged into Destination page, create a proposal in a new section at Talk:Destination page. If the destination does not exist, do not create its talk page.

Create a new topic and include the list of the affected pages and a merge rationale. For example:

== Merge proposal ==
I propose merging [[SOURCEPAGES]] into [[DESTINATIONPAGE]]. I think the content in SOURCEPAGE can easily be explained in the context of this article, and merging them would not cause any article-size or [[WP:UNDUE|weighting]] problems. ~~~~

If a merge proposal has been incorrectly created on the source's talk page and the proposed destination is unambiguous and exists, any editor can move the discussion to the talk page of the destination page, to increase its visibility. Use the {{Moved to}} and {{Moved from}} templates.

Optionally, you can notify contributors to the pages involved. One way is to ping them in a comment on the merge proposal, such as {{ping|User1|User2|User3|...}} Notifying contributors to the articles. ~~~~. Alternatively, create a new topic on those users' talk pages with {{subst:Mergenote|PAGENAME|Talk:PAGENAME#Merge proposal}}. Respect neutrality when making invitations to participate in the discussion; selectively notifying editors is not allowed.

Step 2: Tag the relevant pages

To propose merging:

  • two articles together: place {{Merge to|DESTINATIONPAGE|discuss=Talk:DESTINATIONPAGE#Merge proposal|date=July 2026}} at the top of the source page, and {{Merge from|SOURCEPAGE|discuss=Talk:DESTINATIONPAGE#Merge proposal|date=July 2026}} at the top of the proposed destination article or section.
    • If you don't already know which article should be merged and which should remain, place {{Merge|OTHERPAGE|discuss=Talk:PAGE#Merge proposal|date=July 2026}} on both pages.
  • many articles into an existing article: place {{Merge|OTHERSOURCEPAGES|...|target=DESTINATIONPAGE|discuss=Talk:DESTINATIONPAGE#Merge proposal|date=July 2026}} on all source pages, and {{Merge from|SOURCEPAGE1|SOURCEPAGE2|...|discuss=Talk:DESTINATIONPAGE#Merge proposal|date=July 2026}} at the top of the proposed destination article or section.
  • many articles into a page that doesn't exist yet: place {{Merge|target=DESTINATIONPAGE|SOURCEPAGE1|SOURCEPAGE2|...|discuss=Talk:SOURCEPAGE#Merge proposal|date=July 2026}} on each source page.

Always use the |discuss= parameter to link to the same discussion on all pages; otherwise, two separate discussions could take place.[lower-alpha 1]

Step 3: Discuss the merge

Make sure to follow standard talk page guidelines and be clear and concise. Usually, a hybrid discussion/straw poll is used, but remember that polling is not a substitute for discussion. Example:

* '''Merge''' – The scope of the articles is the same.  ~~~~
* '''Don't merge''' – The resulting article would be too long. ~~~~

During the course of the discussion, editors may suggest merging pages that were not part of the original proposal. When this happens, add the merge templates to those additional pages and ensure that adequate time is provided for editors to comment before the discussion is closed.

Step 4: Close the discussion

During discussion, a rough consensus may emerge to proceed with the merge. Any user, including the user who first proposed the merge, may close the discussion and move forward with the merge if enough time has elapsed (normally 7 days or more) and the consensus is clear or there has been no discussion. Closing of merge discussions differs from closing of requested move discussions in that closings of uncontroversial merge discussions by involved users are allowed.

In more unclear, controversial cases, the determination that a consensus to merge has or has not been achieved should be made by an editor who is neutral and not directly involved in the merge proposal or the discussion. The discussion can be listed at the Proposed article mergers noticeboard to attract the attention of more editors. If necessary, you can request that an uninvolved editor close the discussion at the Closure requests noticeboard. If a consensus is formed against the merge shortly after it was performed, it can easily be reversed.

To close a merge discussion, use the {{Discussion top}} and {{Discussion bottom}} templates.[lower-alpha 2] Then:

  • If the discussion is closed with consensus to merge, change the {{Merge to}} tag to {{Being merged to}} in the source page, and change {{Merge from}} to {{Being merged from}} in the destination page. They should remain tagged until the merge is fully performed, so that they are listed on the relevant backlog.
  • If the discussion is closed with consensus against merging or no consensus, remove all the {{Merge}} templates from the destination and source pages, linking to the discussion in your edit summary. Optionally, you can also place {{Old merge}} on the corresponding talk pages.[lower-alpha 3]

Step 5: Perform the merge

Following the merge of PAM into AfD, the detailed procedure for carrying out merges is now described at Wikipedia:Merging § Procedure.

Articles with consensus to merge

If a merge discussion has been closed with consensus to merge, you can optionally list it at Wikipedia talk:Merging or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Merge to attract editors interested in carrying out the merge. Any editor can perform these merges by following the merging instructions! Template:Merge backlog

Notes

  1. If the parameter is not specified, the notices lead to the top of each article's talk page. In {{Merge to}} and {{Merge from}}, it always leads to the destination talk page, but it is still preferable to link to a specific section of the talk page. When proposing a cross-namespace merge, these templates won't work correctly.
  2. This is an example usage:
    == Merge proposal ==
    {{Discussion top|result=The result of this discussion was... . ~~~~}}
    
    I propose merging ...
    : Rest of the discussion...
    
    {{Discussion bottom}}
    
  3. To add {{Old merge}}, use this format:
    {{Old merge
    | otherpage = DESTINATIONPAGE
    | result = '''not merged'''
    | talk = Talk:DESTINATIONPAGE#Merge proposal
    | date = {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}
    }}
