I recently came across a very ancient merge proposal (from November 2009).

I may try and fix that at some point, if no-one else gets there first, but was wondering where very old merge proposals are listed. Is there a tracking category somewhere that they are put in?

[[Category:Articles to be merged]].

The various merge templates drop articles into subcategories of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_to_be_merged
All are hidden, so they shouldn't display on the article pages.
There's a full set of tracking categories here:

(some go back an alarmingly long time...)

Thanks. That's why I missed them (not logged in). I was looking at the template source code, trying to see where the code putting them into categories was, but presumably it is tucked away in one of the templates contained within the template. I now see the template document page would have told me this.
"These templates will add tagged articles to Category:Articles to be merged, while non-articles (files, templates, etc.) will be added to Category:Items to be merged."
Doh! Thanks anyway.
