{{tlrow|split|category=Articles to be split}}

|-

| {{tl|split}}

<br>

([[:Category:Articles to be split|category]])

| {{split}}

* Place this at the top of an article for which a split into two or more new articles is proposed.

{{tlrow|splitsection|new title|category=Articles to be split}}

|-

| {{tl|splitsection}} or {{tlp|splitsection|NEW TITLE}}

<br>

([[:Category:Articles to be split|category]])

| {{splitsection}}<br>{{splitsection|NEW TITLE}}

* Place this at the top of one or more sections for which a split into a new article is proposed.

* Optionally, you may include a suggested title for the new article as a parameter: {{tlptlx|splitsection|NEWnew TITLEtitle}}

{{tlrow|splitsections|new title|category=Articles to be split}}

|-

| {{tlp|splitsections|NEW TITLE}}

<br>

([[:Category:Articles to be split|category]])

| {{splitsections|NEW TITLE}}

* Place this at the top of an article for which a split of multiple sections into a new article is proposed.

* If possible, instead use {{tltlx|splitsection}} or {{tlptlx|splitsection|NEWnew TITLEtitle}} in each of the sections that should be split into the new article.

{{tlrow|merge|other item|category=Articles to be merged}}

|-

| {{tlp|merge|OTHER ITEM}}

<br>

([[:Category:Articles to be merged|category]])

| {{merge|OTHER ITEM}}

* Place this at the top of both articles or sections that are to be merged. Use the other item's name as the parameter. A link will be generated automatically.

* If it is known which article or section is to receive the merged material, use the tags {{tlptlx|mergeto|DESTdest ITEMitem}} and {{tlptlx|mergefrom|SOURCEsource ITEMitem}} (or one of the sectional variants) instead.

{{tlrow|merge-multiple|source 1|src2|src3|category=Articles to be merged}}

|-

| {{tlx|merge-multiple|SOURCE ARTICLE1|SOURCE ARTICLE2|SOURCE ARTICLE3}}

<br>

([[:Category:Articles to be merged|category]])

| {{merge-multiple|SOURCE ARTICLE1|SOURCE ARTICLE2|SOURCE ARTICLE3}}

* If the proposed source is an entire article, place this at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged materials.

* Place a similar tag {{tlptlx|merge-multiple|SOURCEsource ARTICLE01|SOURCE ARTICLE2src2|SOURCE ARTICLE3src3}} at the top of the source articles or sections.

* This template is for proposing the merger of from 1–201 up to 20 articles into a single page. It formats a proper list of links.

* Ideally, a "<tt>discuss</tt>" parameter should be specified to direct the discussion to another page. For example:

*:<tt><nowiki>{{tlx|merge-multiple|2=discuss=Talk:SomeOtherPage|SOURCE3=<nowiki>source ARTICLE11|SOURCE ARTICLE2src2|SOURCE ARTICLE3}}src3</nowiki></tt>}}

{{tlrow|mergeto|dest item|category=Articles to be merged}}

|-

| {{tlp|mergeto|DEST ITEM}}

<br>

([[:Category:Articles to be merged|category]])

| {{mergeto|DEST ITEM}}

* Place this at the top of the article or section that is to have its content transferred to another page.

* If the proposed source is an entire article, place the tag {{tlptlx|mergefrom|SOURCEsource ARTICLEarticle}} at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged material.

* If the proposed source is one specific section of article, place the tag <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:mergesectiontlx|mergesection]]<nowiki>|</nowiki>SOURCEsource ARTICLEarticle|SOURCEsource SECTIONsection}} at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged material.

* If proposing that multiple sections of a single article (but ''not'' the entire article) be merged into another article, place the tag {{tlptlx|mergesections|SOURCEsource ARTICLEarticle}} at the top of the article or section that is to receive the merged material.

* Consider adding new material to the article or section that is the parameter of this tag (i.e. <nowiki>[[DESTdest ITEMitem]]</nowiki>), instead of the article or section that contains this template message.

* If it is not known which article or section is to receive the merged material, use the tag {{tlptlx|merge|OTHERother ITEMitem}} instead.

* By default, the discussion is directed to the talk page of the article this tag is placed on. Optionally, a second parameter can be specified to direct the discussion to another page.

* If it is not known which article or section is to receive the merged material, use the tag {{tlptlx|merge|OTHERother ITEMitem}} instead.
