The content of [nil {{{1}}}] was merged into Template:Merged-from. The former page's [ history] now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its [[Talk:{{{1}}}|talk page]].

  • {{merged-from|article|date|afd=}}
