Script error: No such module "Uses TemplateStyles".

Description

The {{Afd-merge to}} and {{Afd-merge from}} templates are intended for use by a sysop 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 7 November 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)|7 November 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 7 November 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)|7 November 2025}}

This will generate the following notice:

Category suppression

This template will add the categories Category:Articles to be merged and Category:Articles to be merged after an Articles for deletion discussion. These categories can be suppressed by using |nocat=true.
