Template talk:Cfm2

Usage
 from category 

Example
From name creates this:

Umbrella

 * from name to to name
 * Merge, it covers a broader range of topics. Your signature

Purpose
Used similar to afd2 to simplify the listing on WP:CFD of a category with Cfm. See how to use this page for overall instructions.

Broken?
Hillsong Youth Alive albums (taken from the output of cfm with a section name argument). Should create a CFM section called "Hillsong", but instead output:

Category:Hillsong Youth Alive albums

 * Suggest merging Category:Hillsong Youth Alive albums to Category:Hillsong albums
 * Nominator's rationale: Hillsong

Please replace  with   as the latter is more proper english.

 * While it may be more proper English, I believe the wording is "merge to" rather than "merge with" because "merge to" is more specific that the destination article is the second, and there's no ambiguity which category is the one that remains. Not done as proposed. Perhaps "merging into" may be better phrasing. See the precedence with Merge, Merge to, Merge from. — Andy W.  ( talk  · ctb) 21:48, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * is fine with me also. P p p er y  (talk) 22:35, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ - Merge to etc. use "merged into", and that wording adds clarity, as opposed to adding ambiguity as "merged with" would. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 07:28, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I've moved this back to "to". The bots that process merges are currently coded to recognize the "CATEGORY to CATEGORY" command, not a "CATEGORY into CATEGORY" command. Having it "into" rather than "to" therefore creates a situation where we have to rely on administrators to know that they have to edit the "into" into a "to" on the bot process queue page. Even if admins know that it needs to be changed, they might forget to change it. The change has needlessly complicated closing these types of CFDs. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:55, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
