|-
|WCP6
|Multi Choice
|a token is split to one or many of the outgoing paths
|[[#Inclusive_Gateway|Inclusive Gateway]] or multiple flows out of an activity with gateway and condition
|-
|WCP7
|(Structured) Synchronizing Merge
|merge into one token if the token arrives from all incoming path which have a token
|[[#Inclusive_Gateway|Inclusive Gateway]] fork and [[#Inclusive_Gateway|Inclusive Gateway]] merge
|-
|WCP8
|Multi Merge
|multi-choice (WCP6) path are merged and each token is passed on
|[[#Inclusive_Gateway|Inclusive Gateway]] fork and [[#XOR_or_Data-based_Exclusive_Gateway|Data-based Exclusive Gateway]] merge or uncontrolled parallel flow with a uncontrolled merge
|-
|WCP9
|(Structured) Discriminator
|merge of parallel split only let the first (or concurrent token) through and blocks delayed token of other pathes
|[[#Complex_Gateway|Complex Gateway]] merge
|-
|WCP28
|Blocking Discriminator
|blocks parallel split for token behind the first token until the merge has performed
|BPMN spec indidcates [[#Complex_Gateway|Complex Gateway]]
|-
|WCP29
|Cancelling Discriminator
|concurrent tokens of a parallel split are merged, merge cancels all other delayed parallel tasks
|
|-
|WCP30
|Structured Partial Join
|n of m parallel splits are merged, delayed tokens will be not be forwarded by the merge
|pattern description and BPMN spec indidcate [[#Complex_Gateway|Complex Gateway]]
|-
|WCP31
|Blocking Partial Join
|n of m parallel splits are merged, blocks parallel split for token behind the first token until the merge has performed
|BPMN spec indidcates [[#Complex_Gateway|Complex Gateway]]or see this [https://www.processon.com/view/4fe52a540cf25c5c8c05fba9 pattern example]
|-
|WCP32
|Cancelling Partial Join
|n of m parallel splits are merged, merge cancels all other delayed parallel tasks
|see this [https://www.processon.com/view/4fe7f4460cf25c5c8c05fdc5 pattern example] with signal event
|-
|WCP33
|Generalized AND-Join
|merge handling multiple tokens in the same instance, merge if all path of the merge have an active token
|
|-
|WCP37
|Local Synchronizing Merge
|example for a merge of non block-oriented process flow
|according to BPMN specification [[#Inclusive_Gateway|Inclusive Gateway]]
|-
|WCP38
|General Synchronizing Merge
|example for a merge of non block-oriented process flow with loops
|according to BPMN specification [[#Inclusive_Gateway|Inclusive Gateway]]
|-
|WCP41
|Thread Merge
|merges subsequent tokens in one path to one token
|
|-
|WCP42
|Thread Split
|splits one token to n subsequent tokens in one path 
|pattern example indicates multi-instance marker
