Hi all,
What is the correct process to undo merges? There are three cases where a bibliographical article (in Wikisource) has been accidentally merged with the human the article is about:
http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q85393 http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q312607 http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q320923
The merge in each case should be undone, and the "main subject" property be set instead, like here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15985561
But the "undo" option in the history just deletes the merged-in statements (it seems) without restoring the old page. What to do?

If I get the question correctly, after undoing changes in the target page, you need to go to the redirect page and undo changes made there.

Hi!

Yes, I tried to do that and it works fine. You may need to click on "redirected from" link when going to redirect page and then go to history and restore pre-merge version.
