| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Afd-merge from. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Script error: No such module "Uses TemplateStyles".
Description
The {{Afd-merge to}} and {{Afd-merge from}} templates are intended for use by the editor 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 28 March 2026. 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)|28 March 2026}}
This will generate the following notice:
This article was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 28 March 2026 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. (March 2026) |
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 28 March 2026. 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)|28 March 2026}}
This will generate the following notice:
| 50px | The article Topic Y was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 28 March 2026 with a consensus to merge the content into Template:Afd-merge from/doc. 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}}. |
Bot information
When the "merge from" article is redirected to the target article, AnomieBOT (talk⧼dot-separator⧽contribs) will replace this template with {{Afd-merged-from}} automatically. If the "merge from" article is instead redirected to some other page, is deleted, or is otherwise a redlink, the relevant information will be listed at User:AnomieBOT/Afd-mergefrom report for human attention.
