Please follow overall instructions.

Usage

If a single category:

{{subst:Cfm|ProposedName}}

ProposedName is the category name you desire to merge this into. It must already exist; if it does not, you should use {{cfr}} to rename.

If a group of similar categories or a category and its subcategories, use an umbrella nomination:

{{subst:Cfm|ProposedName|SectionName}}

ProposedName is the desired replacement name for the category.

SectionName is the joint discussion section. It may be a category name, or any other unique name that reflects the nominations.

Note that where the SectionName includes the category prefix, it must be specified:

{{subst:Cfm|Example|Category:Bishops}} — with category prefix
{{subst:Cfm|Example|Bishops and archbishops categories}} — without "Category:"

Please include "Cfm" in the edit summary, and don't mark the edit as minor.
To merge into 2 targets, please use {{subst:cfm-double|ProposedName1|ProposedName2}} (or {{subst:cfm-double|ProposedName1|ProposedName2|SectionName}} as stated above).
To merge into 3 or more targets, use either template, and just add more targets after listing the nomination in the next step.
Preview before saving. The display will give more precise instructions about the next step.
