Here at Lylat Wiki, we prefer quality of information over article count. Small pages which cannot be improved upon greatly can be merged if a proper consensus is reached.

When merging a page, follow these steps.

Step 1

Open the edit view of the page(s) being merged and copy the text.

Step 2

Paste the text on the destination article.

Step 3

Check the text to ensure it fits with its new article. Be sure to correct any links that need it.

Step 4

Replace the content on the merged page with a redirect to the new article by placing

#REDIRECT [[(article name)#(section name)]]

on the article.
