Template:Being merged from/doc

__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__

Usage

{{ Being merged from | First article | Second article | ... | discussion=Example (2nd nomination) | date=October 2026 }}

This template always needs to be applied after an AfD discussion has been closed with consensus to merge. If you are actively working on the merge, use the {{In use}} template to let editors know you're currently working on it.

This template is used to add the article to the category Category:Articles with consensus to merge. This category can be suppressed by using |nocat=yes.
