A merge request usually results from someone trying to edit or re-word a question into the wording of a question that already exists.
For instance, if I had the question "What is a fxo?" and I reworded it to "What is a fox," that correctly-spelled question already exists on our site. When this happens, then different things might happen, depending on your permissions on the site:
- People with the power to merge would get a button asking them if they want to merge the questions together, and if they clicked it, it would happen.
- People withOUT the power to merge would get a button asking them if they want to merge the questions together, and if they clicked it, it would send a request to the supervisors, where they could double-check the request and either approve or deny it.

What happens after you recommend to merge a question on WikiAnswers?
The request is sent to the Community Assistants who decide whether the merge is a good one or not.
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 if you realize a question you asked is the same as another question?
You can request a supervisor to merge that question into the existing one.
Does WikiAnswers send a confirmation email about a merge request to the contributor who made the request?
Not as far as I'm aware. I've merged questions many times, and not received a confirmation email.
Can TIP Members merge questions?
Members of The Initiates Program do not have access to the merge tool. TIP members can request merges in the same way as other contributors by changing the wording of a question to match the wording of the question they wish it to be merged to. You can also ask a supervisor to merge questions for you (or your TIP Supervisor if you are a member). Merging is a supervisor-only tool.
Is it merge in or merge into?
Merge into is more correct.
How do you merge two equivalent questions on WikiAnswers?
That depends on whether you are a supervisor, a signed in user, or a non-signed in user. Anyone who can edit the wording of a question can trigger a merge *request,* but only supervisors can actually perform a merge. (This is because we get lots of people who don't know how to merge, or who want to merge things that are not the same.) How: if you can edit the question wording, change it to the same wording as the question you want it to be merged into. If you have the rights, this will ask you if you want to complete a merge. If you do not, this will trigger an email that will be sent, indicating that your username wants to merge these two questions together. For supervisors, there is also a link that allows you to access an area to do merges another way... that should be covered in supervisor training/mentoring.

What should you do when you find two questions that should be merged?
If you are a contributor, you can suggest a merge by selecting the improper question, or if it's just an alternate wording with no errors: the one with the poor answer or no answer, and click edit for the question wording. Erase its wording and paste the wording of the other question and click save. It will ask if you want to merge, click yes. This will send a merge request. If you do not wish to do that, you can sent the links of the questions to a Supervisor. If you are a Supervisor, use your merge tool and merge them. The option of merging should be found in your blue sidebar. Select the one with improper wording, or if they both contain no errors, chose the one with no answer (if one has a bad answer then delete it), click merge, and copy and paste the other question into the second white box and click merge. You can also edit the one you want to merge and put in the wording of the other question into the box and click save. It will give you an option to merge the two.
What is the merge sign?
A merge sign is a sign that instructs road users to merge.
How does a non-supervisor request that 2 almost-identical questions be merged?
How a Non-Supervisor Can Make a Merge RequestDecide which of the 2 questions is better worded. Edit the wording of the lower-quality question to read exactly the same as the better-worded question. You will then see a pop-up box telling you this:"The question [wording of the better-worded question] already exists. Recommend that this be merged."If you agree that you would like the 2 questions to be merged, click on "Save." Your merge request will be sent to a Community Assistant, who will make the merge if the request is indeed accurate.Alternate Way of Requesting a MergeCopy the URL of each of the 2 questions and paste them into an email. Send the email to: WikiAnswers @ Answers.com (be sure to remove the spaces).
