Usage

{{Being merged|spacetype=article/template/section|discuss=Talk:Article#Some discussion|target=Some article to be merged into|nocat=yes/no}}

This template should only be applied to pages where a merger discussion has been closed with consensus to merge.

If no one is actively working on the merger yet, |inactive=y will adjust the wording to make this clear, without affecting the categorization. Some mergers happen within the day, while some are put off literally for years due to lack of someone volunteering to take it on.

TemplateData
