If a talk page name isn't given then a link to [[TALKPAGENAME]] is created (which is obviously wrong), so I tried to use '''<nowiki>{{#if:{{{2|}}}|}}</nowiki>''' to stop it from showing a discuss link if a talk page is not given. Then I tested it, as can be seen on [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Biggest_gta_fan_ever&oldid=79738 this] revision of my [[User:Biggest gta fan ever|userpage]], by having a move with talk page, move without, merge with, merge without; and it didn't even show discuss links for the ones that did have them, so I reverted my edits to both templates. What does everyone else think of this idea anyway? '''[[User:Biggest gta fan ever|Biggest GTA Fan Ever]]<sup>''[[User talk:Biggest gta fan ever|Talk]]''</sup>''' 09:22, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

''Pages displaying this template will be placed into [[:Category:Merge]] for convenience.'' Why is this so convenient? Non-staff members who can't move pages would definitely look through the merge category, only to click a link to a page that doesn't need to be merged, but moved, which they can't do. Staff members can also have this problem. I go through the category, and (until I click the links) have no way to distinguish between the links that lead to pages that require only a simple move, and pages that need merging, which could take much longer, time which I may not have. How are merging and moving even related (besides that merging sometimes requires a move to a better title)?
