I found the wiki page giving advice on merging.

But it does need updating. It mentions removing a 'source tag' which
doesnt appear to be used, and mentions merging using software but I
cant see a way to do that with Potlatch
I'll stick with the advice Tom's just given, until its updated.
Please be bold and correct or improve the wiki if you see an error or
omission! The wiki is a massively important resource but is currently
poorly maintained.
In particular please:
1) Correct errors when they see them
2) Ensure that pages are effectively catagorised
3) Add wikilinks between relevant pages
4) Completely rework a page if are confident about doing so - but
don't change the actual tagging advice for approved features - just
make the page clearer.
4) Use the wiki talk pages to discuss issues.
5) Set up watch lists for pages they are interested in and monitor
them from time to time.
Personally I am focusing my efforts at present on a major wiki clean-
up because it is currently very confusing for newcomers (and indeed
also for many established users) but it is a big job and help is needed.

Peter

I believe Thomas Wood is planning to improve the wiki.
I've made a start in Peckham, where the stops are all there but
relations
between pairs of stops are patchy, and many stops aren't in the
right route
relations. Some nodes have the route_ref tag which I'm treating as
deprecated due to route relations. NAPTAN nodes have much better
information that I don't want to lose. So my approach has been:
- move the NAPTAN nodes to the right location and delete the old bus
stop
node
- check the name and other details as one or two have been slightly
incorrect
- add the NAPTAN node to the right route relations
- switch the naptan:verified tag to "yes"
Regards,
Tom
