Merge[edit]
Hallo Oleksiy.golubov,
When you merge items, please use the merge.js gadget from help page about merging. It helps you merging, nominating, gives the option to always keep the lower number (which is older, so preferable) and makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.
If you don't have account, you may have to Create Account.

- Hi! Why do I have to create another account? Isn't my Wikipedia account valid here? I'm sorry, I still can't understand how to merge items. I've turned the gadget on, re-launched my browser, but see no changes in my interface. What should I do, for example, to merge the items 1 and 2 (the same village municipality in Ukraine)?

- When you hover your mouse above the arrow on the left side of the search bar in the upper right corner, you will get some options. Some of these options will be "Merge it with..." and you will get a pop-up where you can enter the other QID. Just enable all the checkboxes and click "Merge". The items will be merged automatically and a request for deletion will be done too. JurgenNL (talk) 08:43, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
