Show merged topics as comments

When you merge a topic, the description of the merged should show as a comment on the surviving topic. It currently shows hidden and might be confusing to creator.
Also, does creator receive a message when it is merged?

I just merged topic B to topic A.


Topic A had 0 replies.

Topic B had 1 comment.


Survival topic was A, with the comment from B, but NOT the initial body of B.


So it is inconsistent, because B-comment is in a different context. Merging should result as:


A (as main body)

--- B body as a comment

--- B-comment as a comment

Quote from Wendy Kelley

I just merged several comments by different users with different Replies by our feedback team, and now I can only see one of them.  If this is how it works, I don't want to merge them.  I agree that you should see them all under the one.  I will need to unmerge if this is the case.  Thank you,

What you describe is "grouping", "merge" means they are duplicated and should only exist 1 for the sake of organization and cleansing.

Not sure if the site supports grouping, but actually a forum "groups" things together.

And also, after merged, survival topic votes should automatically go +1 (since a merge is someone requesting for something already requested)

There is no way for the merged-topic-creator to know his topic has been merged.


Also his post must be shown under the new merged topic.


Right now it seems like disappearing after merging...
