Merge
This page is within the scope of WikiProject Merge, an attempt to reduce the articles to be merged backlog and improve the merging process. If you wish to help, you can edit the page attached to this talk page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.MergeWikipedia:WikiProject MergeTemplate:WikiProject MergeMerge

Using the log subpages to locate merge discussion backlog, I noticed that the pages have not been renamed with the parent page, i. e. they are still at WP:Proposed mergers/Log. Since they are populated by a bot, there might be a reason for keeping them there, but it seems odd to have subpages of a redirect containing the merger logs. (In fact, I find the location as subpages of a procedural page that was never used to propose their mergers a bit strange in the first place). Felix QW (talk) 10:21, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's neat. GenQuest ^"scribble" 18:14, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't merge discussions be open atleast 7 days (and some listed here have lasted much more than that), like other processes on Wikipedia (WP:RM, WP:XFD) ? I've noticed a few mergers lately that were closed without WP:SNOW-justification-mentioned in less than 3 days, even with a no-consensus closure. -- 65.92.244.114 (talk) 22:19, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a section where one would want to merge and rename the article to reflect the merger.

Example: Dramatic structure and Narrative structure are under different articles, but I think the name should be changed to Story Structure when merged. Wikipedia policy to merge to move to new article is not clear.--KimYunmi (talk) 14:18, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@KimYunmi: You can suggest a new name when you propose the merger. Richard3120 (talk) 17:42, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

KimYunmi I will take the best developed article and rename (move) it to the desired article name, then merge the other(s) into it. Or merge the two and then rename the resultant article, as Richard says above. GenQuest ^"scribble" 20:51, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. No one babysits either article that much, so I doubt there will be much resistance. I posted the request. But I also think it would be useful to add such an item to this article? Is that sort of item not supposed to be in this article? KimYunmi (talk) 00:02, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and hope you're well! Just letting anyone watching this talk that proposer has requested closure of a merge discussion at Wikipedia:Closure requests#Talk:Invincible ignorance (Catholic theology)#Proposed merge of Invincible error into Invincible ignorance (Catholic theology). The merge discussion has not been unanimous, so I and others involved prefer someone uninvolved do the closing. That way, we can move onto the next steps for the articles. I understand that there's a backlog for merges, so I would appreciate any help provided. Thank you, Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 20:49, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would there be a simpler way to organize these? I.e., use article alerts to compile all active merge requests and then just have a section to help list the requests that haven't been picked up by the bot? I imagine that would be easier to maintain. czar 21:40, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Merge/Article alerts should be populating shortly czar 22:05, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, per point 3 of WP:PM, I am notifying this project of the merge discussion at Talk:Incel. This is based on a just recently closed AfD (see page of incels.is). The AfD closed with a consensus to merge, but since that consensus, I have increased the incels.is article a lot in sourcing and content though, so a merge may now not be necessary. 2001:48F8:3004:FC4:48EA:35CE:A536:B342 (talk) 20:42, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is the wrong page for that notice. I will copy to the noticeboard talk page. Regards, GenQuest ^"scribble" 18:15, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge help needed: 2018–2022 Nicaraguan protests (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) into Protests against Daniel Ortega (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (See noticeboard for details.) Participants agree to merge, but seem stuck on the execution. Thanks, GenQuest ^"scribble" 18:12, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really the best option to limit this page to article (mainspace) mergers? It seems to me that something like a merge of sections between policies and guidelines would be of more interest to more editors than merges between two articles on related military units, or a school page into a school district one.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  16:09, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
