Currently, there are open [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341760#9269957 phab] [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T118132 tickets] proposing that the use of the HistMerge tool be logged at the target article in addition to the source article. Several proposals have been made:

*'''Option 1a''': When using [[Special:MergeHistory]], a null edit should be placed in both the merge target and merge source's page's histories stating that a history merge took place.

*: ([[phab:T341760]]: '''Special:MergeHistory should place a null edit in the page's history describing the merge''', authored Jul 13 2023)

*'''Option 1b''': When using [[Special:MergeHistory]], add a log entry recorded for the articles at the both HistMerge target and source that records the existence of a history merge.

*: ([[phab:T118132]]: '''Merging pages should add a log entry to the destination page''', authored Nov 8 2015)

*'''Option 2''': Do not log the use of the [[Special:MergeHistory]] tool at the merge target, maintaining the current status quo.

Should the use of the HistMerge tool be explicitly logged? If so, should the use be logged via an entry in the page history or should it instead be held in a dedicated log? — [[User:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: #660000">Red-tailed&nbsp;hawk</span>]]&nbsp;_{[[User talk:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: #660000">(nest)</span>]]} 15:51, 20 November 2024 (UTC)}}
