Merging

I suggest this template to be merged into the {{Sockpuppet}} template. They are very similar but not identical in terms of parametres, why I feel a "manual" merge is better than simply moving/redirecting {{Sockpuppeteer}} into {{Sockpuppet}}. In the end only the latter template should remain, since it is used in ≈50 pages whereas the "Sockpuppeteer" equivalent is only used in a handful.

 Support. look like duplication for me too. - yona b (talk) 10:44, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

@Tommy Kronkvist: Six years in the future and nothing further has happened... should we just take the merge notices off them at this point? Or do you still want them to be merged? Monster Iestyn (talk) 05:46, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello Monster Iestyn. Yes, I guess we should remove the {{Merge}} templates. I no longer remember where it was discussed, but I have a faint memory that the consensus was that the purposes of the two {{Sock…}}-templates are a bit too different for them to be merged. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 13:03, 4 November 2023 (UTC).

@Tommy Kronkvist: Okay then, I'll go ahead and do that now. Apart from anything else, Category:Pages to merge has been listing all of Template:Sockpuppeteer's translation pages probably all of this time. Monster Iestyn (talk) 14:29, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
