Intended for use on talk pages, this template identifies that another page was previously merged into the current article.

{{Merged-from|article|date}}

article

Name of article which was merged; must not be wikilinked.

date

Date which the article was merged (if known).

talk

Whether to link to the article's talk page

target

The target page, if not the subject page (e.g. for a merge to a talk page)

Example:

• {{merged-from|foo|03 November 2024}} — displays message that the current article was merged from foo

• {{merged-from|foo}} — displays message that foo was merged into the current article

The talk page link can be removed with the parameter |talk=no. Example:

• {{merged-from|foo|talk=no}}

The talk page is in another namespace. Example:

• {{merged-from|Wikipedia:foo|foo}}

Additionally, if the merge has been carried out as a result of an AfD, an optional |afd= parameter can be used to link to the discussion:

• {{merged-from|article|date|afd=}}

Put this template on a talk page to note that the article was the TARGET of a previous merge.
