The relevant Talk page where the changes were discussed over the past month or so wikipedia talkcategories for discussion  Im aiming for consistent formatting and the tradition has long been a bullet followed by the action    There is plenty of room for as much discussion as possible  But newbies should be assisted in completing the process and this is one of the areas that problems have been found  Moreover the standard formatting allows for more easily distinguishing the nominations of Merge from Rename  Many folks had taken to adding a second line after their nomination in the traditional form two edits just to clarify their intent and the template should make things easier rather than harder   However given your concern Ill move the default action inside the text parameter allowing folks that are so much smarter than the rest of us to easily rephrase in any form
