Merge[]

Bit of a quandary; tempted to starting adding pain medication refs to this article - term is canon, used in "Harbinger" & "The Breach" - to cover at least 7 "something for the pain" mentions. However Wikipedia redirects PM to analgesic, which we also have. Where do they go?--Archer4real (talk) 09:51, October 8, 2016 (UTC)

I'd say merge into the term used the most, since they really are the same, just the medical and the colloquial name. Kennelly (talk) 10:18, October 8, 2016 (UTC)

Quandary continues: both have got three refs apiece. Should we consider merging those before addressing my initial question?--Archer4real (talk) 15:00, October 8, 2016 (UTC)

Chakoteya delivers 4 results for painkiller in dialogue and 10 or so for analgesic. Kennelly (talk) 15:47, October 8, 2016 (UTC)

Painkiller wins; watch this space. Again, should we consider merging what we have? I tentatively (as I'm on the fence) vote yes --Archer4real (talk) 12:36, October 9, 2016 (UTC)

It's been years, but this should be merged into analgesic, since they're the same thing. -- UncertainError (talk) 23:25, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
