Merging articles?

I have a question for you. You may remember from my user page that I'm planning on fixing a lot of the articles, and that will include merging a lot of stubs that really don't need to be their own articles in the first place. I went to start on that and realized I don't know how. I imagined that there was a "merge" edit option, but I apparently cannot find it. I've looked through the sites various newb guidelines and I cannot find anything that talks about it. Is there no option for that, or is that something above my pay-grade?

The only solution I can think of is to copy/paste the content from one article into another, go to the "What links here" section of the articles, change their links, and delete one or more of the articles. I'll do that, but it seems like there should be an easier way.

Thanks boss.

Copy paste->redirect/delete.

OK, thanks boss.

Wait, what? I'm the boss? When did this happen? Uh, no problem I guess.

That's just how I refer to people. I say it all the time.

Oh, ok. I have enough verbal stangeness I shouldn't complain.

I knew I was going to fuck something up. How do you make a redirect like you did with the articles I deleted?

#REDIRECT[[Whatever you're redirecting to]]

Ah, thanks. I'll keep that in mind for now on.

No problem, it's what I'm here for.

Actually, if you want to keep the history, it's delete the target, move duplicate to target, delete again, restore with full history. This can't be undone easily though. To undo it, you have to split the history. Delete the revisions which will stay in place, then move the page (only the revisions that are not deleted will be moved), and restore the deleted revisions on the original page.
