Of course, the correct way to fix this is to actually implement real merging. For now, why don't people just do a history merge, by deleting one page, moving another on top of it, and undeleting? Is that viewed as too confusing in terms of the history display?
Yes, especially if the topic of the article being "merged" is different than that of the article it's being merged to, and especially if anybody wants to "unmerge" it at a later date (in the face of new information about the narrower topic).
