Additional wikitext to merge message	more_merge	To add additional wikitext to |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
