If you got the hang of checking whether possible duplicates are really
duplicates, here is a short JavaScript that you can use as a
bookmarklet to tick all the checkboxes on a merge page for you:
javascript:var%20form%20=%20document.getElementById("include");%20var%20inputs%20=%20form.getElementsByTagName("input");%20for%20(var%20i%20=%201;%20i%20<%20inputs.length;%20i++)%20{%20if%20(inputs[i].getAttribute("type")%20==%20"checkbox"%20&&%20inputs[i].getAttribute("name")%20==%20"merge_key")%20{inputs[i].setAttribute("checked",true);}%20}
Use with care! :)
