This template places the page in Category:Candidates for history merging. Note that this is a hidden category, and so will not show up on the page by default.
Place this template on the target article, i.e. the page where the text was pasted into (not on the talk page). If the issue is clear-cut (straight up cut-and-paste move to a better title), having this speedy delete tag on the page should be enough. In more complex cases (explained at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge), please leave a description of the problem under the "List of cut-and-page moves to be redone properly" section at the Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
Please consider notifying the user who did the cut-and-paste move with {{uw-c&pmove}} on their talk page.
