Tips from other users

Talk Page Headings

Unless it's something like a serious personal attack, you shouldn't change section headings. NPOV doesn't apply to talk pages. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 07:24, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Category Merging

Is there a simpler way to merge a category into another one than re-tagging each page individually? See Category talk:Anabaptist denominations established in the 20th century#Proposed merge

There are some automated or semi-automated tools that can do it. In fact, I'm pretty sure there's a bot that deals with "merge" discussion results; otherwise AutoWikiBrowser likely could do it too. Huon (talk) 00:57, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
