When to use and when not to use
editThese templates are used primarily to identify potential merges that would benefit from discussion. If it is obvious that a merge would be appropriate, then you may boldly merge the pages yourself without tagging and without discussion. Formal merge discussions take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and the use of this template will guide you through the process of completing the merge nomination and creating the discussion at AfD.
- If you want to propose merging a category, you must do so at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion, using the specific templates available there.
