{{Uses TemplateStyles|Template:Afd-merge to/styles.css}}
==Description==
The {{tl|Afd-merge to}} and {{tl|Afd-merge from}} templates are intended for use by a sysop who closes an [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|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 {{tl|afd}} notice (if still present), add the {{tl|Afd-merge to}} tag to the top of '''the nominated article''' (''not'' its talk page). Use the following format:

'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Afd-merge to|destination article|debate name|debate closure date<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

For example, assume that a debate was closed on {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}. 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:

'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Afd-merge to|Topic X|Topic Y (second nomination)|{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

This will generate the following notice:
{{Afd-merge to|Topic X|Topic Y (second nomination)|{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|nocat=true}}

Also add the {{tl|Afd-merge from}} tag to the top of '''the destination article's talk page''' (''not'' the article itself). Use the following format:

'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Afd-merge from|nominated article|debate name|debate closure date<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

For example, assume that a debate was closed on {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}. 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:

'''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Afd-merge from|Topic Y|Topic Y (second nomination)|{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

This will generate the following notice:
{{Afd-merge from|Topic Y|Topic Y (second nomination)|{{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|nocat=true|demospace=Talk}}

==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 {{para|nocat|true}}.
