Wikipedia:Template index/Merging and splitting

The following tags should be placed atop the articles or sections to which they refer.

Tag	Text that will be shown (and usage notes)
{{split}} category links talk edit	Place this at the top of an article for which a split into two or more new articles is proposed.
{{splitsection}} category links talk edit	Place this at the top of one or more sections for which a split into a new article is proposed. Optionally, you may include a suggested title for the new article as a parameter: {{splitsection|new title}}
{{splitsections}} category links talk edit	Place this at the top of an article for which a split of multiple sections into a new article is proposed. If possible, instead use {{splitsection}} or {{splitsection|new title}} in each of the sections that should be split into the new article.
{{merge}} category links talk edit	Place this at the top of both articles or sections that are to be merged. Use the other item's name as the parameter. A link will be generated automatically. If it is known which article or section is to receive the merged material, use the tags {{mergeto|dest item}} and {{mergefrom|source item}} (or one of the sectional variants) instead.
{{merge-multiple}} category links talk edit	If the proposed source is an entire article, place this at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged materials. Place a similar tag {{merge-multiple|source 1|src2|src3}} at the top of the source articles or sections. This template is for proposing the merger of from 1 up to 20 articles into a single page. It formats a proper list of links. Ideally, a "discuss" parameter should be specified to direct the discussion to another page.
{{mergeto}} category links talk edit	Place this at the top of the article or section that is to have its content transferred to another page. If the proposed source is an entire article, place the tag {{mergefrom|source article}} at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged material. If the proposed source is one specific section of article, place the tag {{mergesection|source article|source section}} at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged material. If proposing that multiple sections of a single article (but not the entire article) be merged into another article, place the tag {{mergesections|source article}} at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged material. Consider adding new material to the article or section that is the parameter of this tag (i.e. [[dest item]]), instead of the article or section that contains this template message. If it is not known which article or section is to receive the merged material, use the tag {{merge|other item}} instead.
{{mergefrom}} category links talk edit	If the proposed source is an entire article, place this at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged material. Place the tag {{mergeto|dest item}} at the top of the source article or section. If a merger of multiple articles into a single page is being proposed, use {{mergefrom-multiple|source 1|src2|src3}}. By default, the discussion is directed to the talk page of the article this tag is placed on. Optionally, a second parameter can be specified to direct the discussion to another page. If it is not known which article or section is to receive the merged material, use the tag {{merge|other item}} instead.
{{mergefrom-multiple}} category links talk edit	If the proposed source is an entire article, place this at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged materials. Place the tag {{mergeto|dest item}} at the top of the source articles or sections. This template is for proposing the merger of from 1 up to 20 articles into a single page. It formats a proper list of links. By default, the discussion is directed to the talk page of the article this tag is placed on. Optionally, a "discuss" parameter can be specified to direct the discussion to another page. If it is not known which article or section is to receive the merged material, use the tag {{merge|other item}} instead.
{{mergesection}} category links talk edit	Template:Mergesection If the proposed source is one specific section of an article, place this at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged material. Place the tag {{mergeto|dest item}} at the top of the source article or section. If it is not known which article or section is to receive the merged material, use the tag {{merge|other item}} instead.
{{mergesections}} category links talk edit	Template:Mergesections If proposing that multiple sections of a single article (but not the entire article) be merged into another article, place this at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged material. Place the tag {{mergeto|dest item}} at the top of the each source section. If it is not known which article or section is to receive the merged material, use the tag {{merge|other item}} instead.
{{mergesectionto}} category links talk edit	Template:Mergesectionto Use this tag at the top of the source section. Place the tag {{mergefrom|source}} at the top of the destination article (use article#section for the source article, to specify the section).
{{merging}} category links talk edit	Place this at the top of a source article for which a merger has begun (but has not yet been completed).
{{mergedisputed}} category links talk edit	Use this template if there is a dispute as to whether or not two articles should be merged. Place this at the top of both articles or sections that are to be merged. Use the other item's name as the parameter. A link will be generated automatically.
