Merging two articles is the combination of two pages into one location, including the page histories. Anyone can suggest a merge, but performing it should only be done by an administrator, because it involves temporarily deleting a page. 1. * A page merge should be suggested by adding the merge template to the page that should be merged with another one. For example, put on top of a page to suggest that it should be merged with "OTHER PAGE". This template will invite discussion about this suggestion on the talk page. As a courtesy, put "merge suggested" in the edit summary, to additionally make other users aware of this. 1. * Explain on the talk page the reason(s) you think the pages should be merged under a heading named "Merge" or something similar. 2. * If, after seven to ten days, there's consensus, an administrator can perform the merge by combining all the information from the two pages as necessary, and then merging the page histories. Note that you are merging the pages in the edit summary, and leave a note about the performed merge on the talk page.
