Scope

This project will be ongoing with a small scope, limited to articles in which editors believe merging will make the wiki as a whole more succinct, as seen in Category:Merge. The impetus of the project is based on several pages that have been suggested and discussed but remain unchanged.

• A convenient centralized place to making editors aware of articles that have been suggested for merge and the progress as such without seeking out the special category and each individual page within.
• Cleaning up in limbo articles that have been proposed, discussed in a talk page, on Discord or elsewhere, but not acted upon in any direction, whether to facilitate the merge, remove duplicate information to individualize the articles, or to remove the merge tags.
• A organized way to help ensure future suggested articles do not fall into the same "merge purgatory" that could be confusing to future editors and make the wiki articles look untidy.

Guidelines

Ideally, as one would normally add the {{merge}} tag to an article and move to discuss such an action on the talk page or by way of a forum, the proposed merge would also be added to the project. This project does not intend to divert or change this process. It is best to engage in these conversations on the respective talk pages or through forums so that we have a record of what was discussed and decided. This project aims to be a resource for seeing the overall picture of all suggestions summarized in one place. Merging will follow the rules outlined in the content organization guideline policy.

Note: Those who wish to contribute to the discussion on merges and subsequent editing do not have to be a part of the project. Expectations of project members will be minimal, centered around checking the merge category for new additions or adding or removing them from the table as needed.
