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 6 September 2025. 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)|6 September 2025}}


This will generate the following notice:

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 6 September 2025. 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)|6 September 2025}}

This will generate the following notice:

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.
