Usage
{{Being merged|article1|article2|...|article5|spacetype=article/template/section|discuss=Talk:Article#Some discussion|nocat=yes/no}}
This template should always be applied to pages where a merge discussion has been closed with consensus to merge, even if the merge is not currently being carried out. Some mergers happen within the day, while some are put off literally for years due to lack of someone volunteering to take it on.
Example:
| File:Merge-arrows.svg | This article is currently slated for merging. There is consensus to merge this article with Some article. You can carry out the merge by following the resolution at the discussion and the merging instructions. |
If you are actively working on the merge, use {{In use}} or {{Inuse-section}} to let editors know you're currently working on it.
