This sounds like a good job for the kind of setup used on Commons, for
instance, for deletion requests: a box (Javascript, I believe) shows up in
the middle of the screen, with a text entry field, maybe some check-boxes
(notify original creator, etc.) and then the script adds the appropriate
things to the appropriate pages (on behalf of the user who fills it in --
that is, the edits all show up in her edit history).
I think one of the general challenges to the movement these days is how to
improve communication among the content-focused Wikimedians who see and
understand the need for technical improvements like these, and the
tech-focused Wikimedians with the skills to implement them. Some pieces are
in place -- Bugzilla, for instance, can be really useful -- but what we
don't have is a straightforward and effective collection of practices and
technical tools that smoothly support this kind of collaboration.

Can't we create a way that will simplify merge propsals into a simple
1-minute procedure? A template with:
Merger [Quercitrin] into [Quercitin], Motivation [bla bla bla] that would
automatically display the merge notice on all revelant pages?
Best regards,
