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.
The WikiAnswers site does not allow you to have two identical questions. If there are two questions that would have an identical answer, then they should be merged. Only Supervisors have this ability.
Many more than two questions can be merged on WikiAnswers. If the same question can be asked in dozens of ways, they all end up as alternates.
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.
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.
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.
The two football teams merged.
If you know the two are indeed the same question than they should be merged.
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.
It's when two (or more) questions appear to be asking the same thing. They can be 'merged' into one question so they all get answered together.

There is no easy way to merge categories at this time. If you think that two categories should be merged, you can write to WikiAnswers @ Answers.com (without spaces) and request it.Another possibility is that you have run into a "mirror" category, where the same category with the exact same questions shows up in two different places within our category tree. We do this sometimes to make them easier to find if they are popular in different areas.
