Template:Being merged/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Being merged.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

{{Being merged|spacetype=article/template/section|discuss=Talk:Article#Some discussion|target=Some article to be merged into|nocat=yes/no}}

This template should only be applied to pages where a merger discussion has been closed with consensus to merge. Articles tagged with this template may also be placed in the

proposed mergers holding cell

.

If no one is actively working on the merger yet, |inactive=y will adjust the wording to make this clear, without affecting the categorization. Some mergers happen within the day, while some are put off literally for years due to lack of someone volunteering to take it on.

TemplateData
