Thanks. That's why I missed them (not logged in). I was looking at the
template source code, trying to see where the code putting them into
categories was, but presumably it is tucked away in one of the
templates contained within the template. I now see the template
document page would have told me this.

"These templates will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be
merged, while non-articles (files, templates, etc.) will be added to
Category:Items to be merged."

Doh! Thanks anyway.

The various merge templates drop articles into subcategories of

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_to_be_merged

All are hidden, so they shouldn't display on the article pages.

There's a full set of tracking categories here:

(some go back an alarmingly long time...)

[WikiEN-l] Ancient merge proposals

2012-02-08 Thread Carcharoth
I recently came across a very ancient merge proposal (from November 2009).

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heliotrop_Rotating_House&oldid=467204628
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heliotrope_%28building%29&oldid=467204633

I may try and fix that at some point, if no-one else gets there first,
but was wondering where very old merge proposals are listed. Is there
a tracking category somewhere that they are put in?
