Instructions for {{Merge}}
Merge can be used when there is valid information on a page that otherwise should be deleted. The editor who places this template on a page can suggest another page where some or all the information can be placed.

Usage

To use, copy or type the following at the top of the page that needs to be merged (removing the reasons and adding your own):

{{merge|article to merge into|reason for merger}}

Do not put the article you propose to merge in brackets; the template will automatically link to it.

Remember to put a reason for the merger, failure to do so may result in tag being removed.

Sample output

The template below has been deliberately filled in incorrectly

This article should be merged, then deleted.
It should be relocated at a page unspecified by the editor who placed this tag because of unknown reasons, because the editor who placed this tag here didn't enumerate them.
This merger is being proposed, rather than simply performed by the editor, because he or she doesn't have the administrative priveleges necessary to merge the articles' histories together. Talk about it here or check the revision history for additional comments.

Below is how it will look correctly filled in:

It should be relocated at Template:Merge because Template:Merge
