Template parameters[Edit template data]

Parameter		Description	Type	Status

date	date	no description	Date	required
result	result	no description Default keep	String	required
Merge target	merge	For merger proposals. Changes "deletion" to "merging with target".	Page name	optional
Additional wikitext to merge message	more_merge	To add additional wikitext to |merge=. E.g. |more_merge=and [[target2]], and [[target2]] — linking and punctuation needs to be added manually in this parameter (which begins immediately after the value of |merge= with a space character between it and the value of |more_merge=). If the merge targets all share the same talk page, you can use the special value |merge=self to just output "merging" without specifying template names.	Content	optional
link	link	Replaces |date=	Content	optional
Talk page section	talk disc discuss	no description Default {{{1}}}	String	optional
small	small	no description	Boolean	optional
