How do you merge answers on WikiAnswers?
Only Supervisors have the ability to merge questions. Non-supervisors who reword questions may trigger a merge that will be sent to a Community Assistant for review. If the two questions should be merged, the CA will merge them.
Can you merge two questions on Answers?
As a regular member, you can request that the two questions be merged and the supervisor community that handle the merge requests deal with all of them. Regular members cannot merge questions, I'm afraid. However, as a supervisor - we can merge questions to make them one-standing question.
What happens if you merge two answered questions on WikiAnswers?
As a Supervisor, if you merge two answered questions on WikiAnswers, the answers will be placed one below the other on the merged question. Usually a minor edit needs to be done to remove any duplicated information.
Can you merge multiple questions at once?
No, you cannot merge multiple questions at once. You can only merge multiple alternates at one time.
Why does this site always give false answers?
It looks like you are combining all your questions with similar, but different questions. Try to word you question clearly so that people can help you better, and don't blame the website if you merge your questions incorrectly.
Who has the power to merge questions on WikiAnswers?
Supervisors can merge questions on WikiAnswers. You can notify Supervisors through the Community Forum, which is checked regularly. It will help if you include the URLs for the questions you think should be merged and we'll take care of it.
What should you do when two questions with different answers are asked at the same time?
If two questions - both asking the same question - are asked, we use the Merge feature. See the Related Links section for more information.
What should you do if WikiAnswers does not merge the similar questions that you have recommended a merge for?
If you believe that two questions should be merged, but the recommendation for one did not seem to work, contact any Supervisor or Community Assistant on WikiAnswers. They can merge questions very quickly for you if they are, indeed, similar enough.
Why do a question's original spelling mistakes stay after suggesting a merge?
Suggesting a merge sends a question to a CA to approve or decline a merge. When you merge questions, you do not change the wording of the questions. Normally we would not notice that the questions do not change because the merge happens instantly, but since there is a delay, we notice it. Don't worry even though it looks like nothing has happened, something will happen.
Can non-Supervisors merge questions on WikiAnswers?
No, they can't. They can, however, suggest a merge.(See the Related question for details.)
Will WikiAnswers merge with Yahoo Answers?
Very likely not, because Answers.com (owns and created Wiki Answers is a very large company and so is Yahoo, so they probably won't merge.
Can supervisors merge questions into protected questions on WikiAnswers?
If the non-protected question doesn't have an answer, then you can merge it into a protected question. However, if the non-protected question does have an answer, then it cannot be merged into a protected question.
