Merging pages is combining the information of two or more pages into one page. Usually, the pages cover similar if not identical topics.

How to Merge

  1. First, you need to find out if your proposed merge will be approved by the community. Place {{Merge}} at the top of the articles or sections you want merged, and discuss the merge on one of the page's talkpage.
  2. A discussion by the community will be done to determine if a merge should take place. After a period of time to hold the discussion has elpased, an Administrator will merge the pages if there are no real objections.
  3. After the Administrator has determined the mother page (the page that the information gets merged to), they will copy over all of the information to its appropriate location, editing as necessary (for instance, if Page A mentions X, and Page B mentions X, then you'll need to remove one of the mentions for the merge, or you'll end up with a redundant page).
  4. Remove the copied section from its original source, and replace it with a link to the new location if applicable. If merging an entire page, have the page redirect to where it needs to go.
