  Actually it’s not even a default gadget (although it may make sense to make 
it one…).

  It doesn’t need to be merged. Items that are about the same concept need to 
be merged, not items that serve no purpose. If one item is about a real 
concept, while the other one is a technical item (the disambiguation item), 
they aren’t about the same concept.

  This is a good idea. By the way, the UX of merge.js has several rough edges 
(e.g. when it does show an error/warning message, it’s often hard to 
understand), so it’s not surprising that there’s yet another one.
