After resolving T85347, it is possible to merge items with sitelinks to the same site while one is redirect to the second. However, because of built-in check in the script, an error is always reported and the merge is rejected. So let's drop the check from the gadget and only use the API.
Sadly, it requires some API cleanup.
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T101629 Merge.js should not check conflicts itself but rely on API | |||
| Invalid | None | T87524 Merge with conflicting sitelinks is not rejected | |||
| Open | None | T91210 Special:MergeItems should report all conflicts at once | |||
| Resolved | Ladsgroup | T180296 API should report why the merge failed, just like Special:MergeItems does |
