Topic on User talk:Nouill

Thank you for your work in maintaining Wikidata. I have a small suggestion to improve your future work. If you notice that two items are duplicates, please merge them instead of blanking one of them as you did with the page Q16669183. External sites use Wikidata identifiers, so it is important that we preserve the chain of references. We do this by making one item a redirect for the other. In particular, item ids are intended to be a permanent identifier, so we never reuse them for another concept. See Help:Merge for more information on how to merge items, and consider installing the Merge Gadget. Thanks! Bovlb (talk) 04:45, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello,

I'm blanking the item, because the merge fail with a technical message. And even when I have blanking the whole page, the technical message appear that said that I'm can not do the merge. I have done few hundred merge, it's the first time a see this message...

OK. Must be some bug in the merge code. I managed to do it for you.
