The MFD closed in favour of marking holding cell as historical, so I removed links to Holding cell from existing page instructions and categories.
The pages I unlinked Holding cell from were - Category:Templates currently being merged, Category:Project pages currently being merged, Category:Pages currently being merged, Category:Articles currently being merged, Wikipedia:Merging, Template:Being merged.
Some of those, we could edit existing instructions to point to a more relevant category instead of Holding cell. Probably something autogenerated when you put a merge closed/being merged template. Soni (talk) 00:52, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Being" templates is missing a template

[edit]

{{being merged}} and {{being split}} is missing an associated template {{being transferred}}. The destination of a split/merge where content is split from one page and moved into another, can use {{being split}} from the source page, but the destination page cannot use {{being merged}} as that template explains the source article would be converted to redirect to it. This wouldn't be the case with a split/merge, where the source page would continue to exist. A relevant target template to explain that a portion of the source page is being merged into the target (template's article subject page, where the transclusion is). -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 03:07, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

merged-from template use

[edit]

It seems to me, the purpose of {{afd-merged-from}} is licensing-required attribution of merged content. Is that correct? If then, an AFD was closed as a merger decision, but in the end, nothing was merged but instead merely redirected, is that template still the appropriate one to use? — Fourthords | =Λ= | 21:11, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
