New page

'''If you are a requester:'''

Often in the article creation process we don't see that a similar or exacting article already exists. This leads to duplicate pages. If you find two (or more) such pages, add the <nowiki>"[[Category:Merge]]"</nowiki> tag to both (all) articles and our editors will merge the information together into one page.

'''If you are an editor:'''

Merge all pages listed and also try searching for any additional unlisted duplicates. Leave <nowiki>#REDIRECT</nowiki> commands as appropriate. When your work on that article(s) is complete remove the <nowiki>"[[Category:Merge]]"</nowiki> tags from all applicable pages.
