Who can merge articles in discussion for merger? Is this a power any user can do to a page once a page come to the conciseness of merger? Or is it a right only admits can do? --SilverPlays ⁹⁷ (i will get my sig a template soon)

Only Administrators have the rights to merge articles, though everyone else can discuss said article's merge with another page on either one's talk page. Template:Sig/SG79 10:51, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

What? No, anyone can merge articles. It's just the nobody ever does. It's not easy. Make sure that all relevant info from one page has been included appropriately in the other one, then turn the first page into a redirect. That is unless we're talking about merging page histories, which only admins can do but it's an ability that never gets used except in very rare circumstances. -- Supermorff (talk) 06:26, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
