[edit] IP vandals

:''If this is a shared [[IP address]], and you didn't make any [[Wikipedia:vandalism|unconstructive]] edits, consider [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|creating an account]] for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings.''

[[Category:IP addresses used for vandalism]]

Note: Consider {{blatantvandal}}

[edit] Prevent page recreation

Old way:

1. Create page with {{deletedpage}}
2. Protect page

New way:

1. Make sure the page is deleted
2. Go to WP:PT, click on the current month.
3. Add {{protected title|article name}}, see {{protected title}} for other parameters.
4. For it to take effect, you have to purge the current month - http://en.wikipedia.org../../../../articles/p/r/o/Wikipedia%7EProtected_titles_June_2008_List_12e1.html

[edit] History merges

Say you have the main article (article 1) and an article to be merged into it (article 2)

1. Delete article 1
2. Move article 2 to the same name article 1 had (so for instance, in this case it would be article 1)
3. Then restore all the revisions for article 1
4. All the histories are then merged
5. Note:It's a very difficult to merge them back out
6. Whichever article has the latest date/time becomes the current version
