This is a script that makes the process of filing out the paperwork while merging articles a tad easier. Look for the menu item "easy-merge" in the "More" menu.
The script is to be run from an article whose content has been merged to another article. A form window opens in which the name of the target article is to be entered. On submitting, following actions are performed:
- current page is redirected to specified target, with
{{R from merge}}tag, with a customisable edit summary - Any
{{merge from|currentpage}}or{{being merged|currentpage}}on the target page is removed {{merged-from}}is added to the talk page of target page{{merged-to}}added to talk page of current page- Any WikiProject templates on talk page are reset with class=redirect, and importance parameter is removed.
- Any media request templates and any |media-needed= parameters of wikiproject tags are removed.
All the above actions are optional and some may be skipped by unchecking a checkbox on the form window.
