Maintenance use only:
1. Edit the TfD log to create the discussion entry.

{{subst:Tfmnotice|Merged-from|Copied}} ~~~~ on their talk page(s).Intended for use on talk pages, this template identifies that another page was previously merged into the current article.
Usage
{{Merged-from|article|date}}
- article
- Name of article which was merged; must not be wikilinked.
- date
- Date which the article was merged (if known).
- talk
- Whether to link to the article's talk page
- target
- The target page, if not the subject page (e.g. for a merge to a talk page)
Example:
- {{merged-from|foo|27 March 2025}} — displays message that the current article was merged from foo
Examples
{{merged-from|foo}}— displays message that foo was merged into the current article
The talk page link can be removed with the parameter |talk=no. Example:
{{merged-from|foo|talk=no}}
The talk page is in another namespace. Example:
{{merged-from|Wikipedia:foo|foo}}
Additionally, if the merge has been carried out as a result of an AfD, an optional |afd= parameter can be used to link to the discussion:
{{merged-from|article|date|afd=}}
