Template:Merge is permanently
protected from editing because it is a
heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by
consensus, editors may use {{
edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's
documentation to add usage notes or
categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases. |
This template was considered for merging with Template:tfm on 10 November 2010. The result of the discussion was "do not merge". |

Description of suggested change: make the example something normal — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael21107 ( talk • contribs) 16:36, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
By default, {{
Merge to}}
produces output that reads "([[|Discuss]])" if you don't specify a |discuss=
value; {{
Merge from}}
doesn't have this issue. I'm guessing that we should have them do the same thing. I would surmise that the best thing to do in both cases (though it might use different code in the two templates) is include a link to the talk page of the merge-to target, since that is the default location to discuss any merge. —

This whole family of templates are unhelpfully displaying "Proposed since {{{date}}}.", when no |date=
value has been specified. This entire item should probably just be suppressed in such a case (and a bot will date-fix it later anyway; there's no reason for it to be ugly and confusing in the short interim). —
