Help talk:Merging pages

Refine procedure?
Procedure (now on redirected page) doesn't seem to work quite as expected. I was working with http://familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Temperance_Sarah_Pickett_(c1690-1728). Here's my revised version for comment:


 * 1) Paste or copy anything desirable from the page with the incorrect title to the correct one.
 * 2) Copy to your clipboard the correct pagename then delete the page at the correct title.
 * 3) Move the second page to the deleted page title, using the "Rename" option in the edit menu.
 * 4) Open the page history, and undelete the content you deleted. There should be a note at the top inviting you to undelete deleted edits.
 * 5) Check that you have the version you want. You may need to "Undo" if the last history item merely moved the incorrect material.
