I see Archive 9 and Archive 10 here:
- Archive 9: Talk:Trump wall/Archive 9
- Archive 10: Talk:Trump wall/Archive 10
But where are archives 1 through 8? And why weren't the talk pages reconciled when this article was merged - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Trump_wall&diff=prev&oldid=1266067628 (a lot of content there) - into Mexico–United States border wall back in December?

- I'm not an expert, but is it because when @Iljhgtn installed archiving , they set the |counter = param to 9? I don't know how to easily fix this, the merge might complicate things. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 05:00, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
Sorry if I did not fix the archive portion correctly when this was done a long time ago now. If anyone can identify what might have been missed then I can try and work on correcting for it. Iljhgtn (talk) 05:07, 12 October 2025 (UTC)There were a number of steps involved with this merge, and if I recall there were a few others checking my work after it was done. Might be worth pinging any of those people too. Iljhgtn (talk) 05:09, 12 October 2025 (UTC)This was about a year ago now. Iljhgtn (talk) 05:10, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
Since you did the merging, it's probably best if you identify the problems and do the fixing, including any content that didn't get merged into the article. Lightbreather (talk) 14:55, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
- Should be fixed now (pending speedy deletion of the redirect from archive 10). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:19, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
That was kind (and speedy) of you Andy. Thank you. Iljhgtn (talk) 21:29, 12 October 2025 (UTC)- Thanks, Andy, but the article "Trump wall" was merged (or at least a small part was) into "Mexico–United States border wall". However, the talk pages weren't reconciled - unless I'm missing something. I don't feel comfortable checking the merged material or reconciling the talk pages.

- So far as I am aware, we do not merge talk page archives. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:41, 13 October 2025 (UTC)
This article was supposed to be merged, but it was deleted
editNow that I look at its editing history more closely, it doesn't appear that any of the content from the "Trump wall" article was merged into the "Mexico–United States border wall". So, effectively, this 212kb article was deleted.
