Merged

{{db-histmerge}} was renamed and removed from the the CSD criteria in March, 2011, following brief discussion. Of interest, the initial import of Twinkle into GitHub happened merely a week earlier.

Both have remained thus for nearly eight years, so we've technically been wrong for quite some time. {{history merge}} is a bit of a weird beast, with a warning associated with it ({{w-c&pmove}}) like a speedy; that template is available in twinklewarn, and I don't think people expect the tag module to handle those, so I think we're fine not doing that here. Allows for multiple instances of the template, a la {{merge from}}.

Closes #293

{{db-nowcommons}} is a redirect to {{now commons}}, which is not a speedy tag, and is already covered in the tag module.  Similar to wikimedia-gadgets#536.

Also added named parameter vis a vis wikimedia-gadgets#441

Both have remained thus for nearly eight years, so we've technically been wrong for quite some time.  `{{history merge}}` is a bit of a weird beast, with a warning associated with it (`{{w-c&pmove}}`) like a speedy; that template is available in `twinklewarn`, and I don't think people expect the tag module to handle those, so I think we're fine not doing that here.  Allows for multiple instances of the template, a la `{{merge from}}`.
