Duplication/merging (3) Pages that need to be merged Problem and why it should be fixed: Problem: There are one or more articles on the same topic. We don't want to have two articles with generally the same type of information in the wiki because that will confuse matters. Help links: Help Redirects FamilySearch Wiki Redirects How to report: Automatically reported. Steps to resolve: Compare both the articles for content. Bring them up in two different windows so you can compare side-by-side if necessary. Decide which article to keep in Wiki. This is the "Target" article. The one we will not keep is the "Duplicate" article. To determine which is the Target, review the following: Title - which article title makes the most sense and is in line with the wiki article naming conventions? Information - which article is more complete? What links here? - which article has more links going to it? (Under Toolbox > What links here) Discussion - which article are people discussing more over time Take any information in the duplicate that is not in the Target and incorporate it into the text of the Target article. Editing of the Target article may be required to make the information flow in a logical manner. Material may have to be restated to match the language of the Target article. Place a "Redirect link" to take the patron to the Target article by the following steps in the rich editor: Log in. In the duplicate article/articles click on the "Edit This Page." In the rich editor box, type: #REDIRECT target article name in the rich editor box at the top. Remove the rest of the text on the page. Type in Summary box: "Placing redirect link, merged content with another article" Save page. Check to see that redirect link works. Steps in Wikitext: After rich editor comes up, click on the word "Wikitext" in the tool bar just under "rich editor." Type #REDIRECT target article name Remove the rest of the text on the page Type in Summary box: "Placing redirect link, merged content with another article" Save page. Check to see that redirect link works. [edit] Archive requests
