Suggest merging Category:Hillsong Youth Alive albums to Category:Hillsong albums

Please replace merging to with merging with as the latter is more proper english.

While it may be more proper English, I believe the wording is "merge to" rather than "merge with" because "merge to" is more specific that the destination article is the second, and there's no ambiguity which category is the one that remains. Not done as proposed. Perhaps "merging into" may be better phrasing. See the precedence with {{Merge}}, {{Merge to}}, {{Merge from}}. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 21:48, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Merging into is fine with me also. Pppery (talk) 22:35, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

 Done - {{Merge to}} etc. use "merged into", and that wording adds clarity, as opposed to adding ambiguity as "merged with" would. —Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 07:28, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

I've moved this back to "to". The bots that process merges are currently coded to recognize the "CATEGORY to CATEGORY" command, not a "CATEGORY into CATEGORY" command. Having it "into" rather than "to" therefore creates a situation where we have to rely on administrators to know that they have to edit the "into" into a "to" on the bot process queue page. Even if admins know that it needs to be changed, they might forget to change it. The change has needlessly complicated closing these types of CFDs.
