Editing Encyclopedia:Proposed article mergers (section)

==How to use this page==
{{Warning|image=Stop hand nuvola.svg |heading=WARNING |headstyle=text-align:center; color:red; |'''Before using this page, please first read [[Wikipedia:Merging]], then this section.'''}}

===What this page is for===
*'''Requesting input''' to help establish consensus in an '''existing''' merge discussion
*'''Requesting assistance to carry out an already approved merger'''. This might be needed because it is technically difficult to carry out, involve particularly big articles, controversial material, at least one article [[WP:ASSESS|assessed]] as B-class or higher, etc.

===What this page is NOT for===
*Simply '''expressing the opinion that two given pages should be merged''': instead, follow the steps listed at {{section link|Wikipedia:Merging|Proposing a merge}}
*'''Requesting obviously necessary and appropriate mergers''' that no one would be expected to contest: in this case you can just be [[WP:BOLD]] and do it (if someone disagrees later it can easily be reversed and a discussion initiated)
*'''Discussing merge proposals''' themselves: this should happen on the talk page of an article in a dedicated [[Wikipedia:Merging#Step 3: Discuss the merge|merge discussion]]
*Requesting help with '''moving (renaming) a page''': see [[Wikipedia:Moving a page]]
*Requesting '''category merges''': see [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion]]
*Requesting '''template mergers''': see [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion]]
*Requesting '''article splits''': see [[Wikipedia:Proposed article splits]]
*Requesting '''history merges''': see [[Wikipedia:Requests for history merge]]

===Before posting===
Before requesting feedback or assistance, make sure you have completed the following steps:
*Check that your request does not fall into one of the cases above
*If it is to gather input, that there is one or more [[WP:MERGEREASON|reasons to merge]], while the proposal does not face [[WP:NOTMERGE|reasons not to]]
*Verify that every step listed at {{section link|Wikipedia:Merging|Proposing a merge}} has been followed; if not, complete the process, either until [[Wikipedia:Merging#Step 2: Tag the relevant pages|step 2]] (tagging the pages with the appropriate [[WP:TMERGE|banners]]) if it is a request for input, or [[WP:MERGECLOSE|step 4]] (closing the discussion) if it is a request for assistance

===What your post should contain===
*The pages/sections involved
*The direction of the merger discussed
*A link to the merge discussion
*Your signature (generated by writing <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>)
*For requests for assistance, please also summarize the outcome of the discussion, and why assistance is needed. Any reason is valid as long as it is stated.

Requests missing any of these may be ignored. After a merge is listed properly, move it to the "{{pslink|Answered requests}}" or "{{pslink|Awaiting consensus}}" sections below as appropriate.
