Welcome!

Hello, Who, Welcome to Misplaced Pages!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Misplaced Pages related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Merge template

Can you be careful with this changing of merge templates?

  • Sometimes there is more info in the merge notice than just "this article should be merged", like "should this article be merged?" and "this article could be merged with either this or this" which is being deleted when you change templates.
  • Changing lots of templates is putting a strain on the servers. For temporary purposes, it is recommended to not edit templates and to implement them with subst: for now, lest we lose out watchlist and other nice functionality for the sake of server load. See Misplaced Pages:Avoid using meta-templates. - Omegatron 12:35, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
