Replace "Reason" with with the reason reason for the merge. This parameter is optional.

"type" should be set as "to" if you want the page to be merged into the other page. It should be set as "from" if you want the other page to be merged into it.

• Place {{Merge|Example 2|Different names for the same thing|type=from}} on Example 1.
• Place {{Merge|Example 1|Different names for the same thing|type=to}} on Example 2.

If you are unsure which pages should be merged into which, do the following:

• Place {{Merge|Example 2|Different names for the same thing}} on Example 1.
• Place {{Merge|Example 1|Different names for the same thing}} on Example 2.
