           Summary: Api module to merge two items
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: WikidataRepo

This would provide a simple way to merge two items in wikidata, this is a task
which is currently carried out by a gadget and having an api module to do this
would make things much simpler!

Standard parameters would include:
* Fromid - Item we are merging from (This will likely be empty after the merge)
* Toid - Item we are merging to (This will remain after the merge)

Various other options would be available:
* Optional cases not to merge with and provide a warning instead (such as if
labels exists in a language on both items, etc.)
* Option to merge everything that is possible leaving anything that could not
be merged in the original item.
* Admins can optionally delete the empty item after a merge with an appropriate
summary
* Merge into item with lowest id (bool)
