From blackwiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Parameters

  • first parameter or originalpage - Page to be merged from.
  • reason - short reason. Should end with a full stop as it will complete the sentence It is requested that the page history of [full URL of page to be merged from] merged into the history of this page [reason]
  • details - if present, will add the text This is a complex history merge request and a collapsed show/hide box listing the details.

Examples

Simple usage when there is no overlapping edit history, all edits are to be merged in, and a redirect is to be left behind:

  • {{Histmerge | title of the page to be merged into here}}
  • {{Histmerge |originalpage=title of the page to be merged into here}}

Example where a reason is provided:

  • {{Histmerge | title of the page to be merged into here|reason=because attribution needs to be preserved.}}

Complex example where special instructions are provided to the merging administrator:

  • {{Histmerge | title of the page to be merged into here|reason=to restore attribution.|details=Merge in only edits between 00:01 January 1 1964 and 23:23 October 10, 2016. This was deleted under [[WP:PROD]] and recently [[WP:REFUND]]ed but a different editor pasted in nearly-identical text from a Wiki mirror under a slightly different name.}}

When NOT to use this template

For very complex merges, merges involving more than two pages, or when the use of this template is otherwise inadequate or where its usage would cause problems, list the request in Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
