These changes went into effect today!
1.) When you propose a merge, in addition to the comment being
e-mailed to the profile manager(s), it's now also posted on the
bulletin board of profile #2 (the profile that's proposed to be the
merged-in one, as opposed to the merged-away one). The comment is
linked from the history items that get connected to the profiles, so
it's accessible from various activity feeds.
2.) When you reject a match or create an unmerged match when there was
a proposed merge (as opposed to from FindMatches, search results, an
index, etc.) you are required to include a comment of explanation.
This comment is posted on profile #2, e-mailed to the managers, and
linked from history items.
The subject lines of the various e-mail messages will look like this:
Merge of Sample-4 and Sample-2 proposed
Merge of Sample-4 and Sample-2 rejected
Merge of Sample-4 and Sample-2 postponed
Merge of Sample-4 and Sample-2 completed
3.) When you remove a merge proposal/reject/match, you're required to
confirm the action with a second step.
