7.x-1.x
When using taxonomy for free tagging purposes, it's easy to end up with several terms having the same meaning. This may be due to spelling errors, or different users simply making up synonymous terms as they go.
You, as an administrator, may then want to correct such errors or unify synonymous terms, thereby pruning the taxonomy to a more manageable set. This module allows you to merge multiple terms into one, while updating all fields referring to those terms to refer to the replacement term instead.
Currently, the module only acts on fields. It would be desirable to update other possible places where deleted terms are used.
5.x-1.x (6.x-1.x)
Term merge permits an administrator to merge one Taxonomy Term into another. All nodes tagged with the old Term are updated to point to the new Term, and the old Term is added as a synonym of the new one.
The module currently works by adding a "merge" link to the bottom of the Edit Term form.
The Drupal 6 support is experimental -- don't use it on a live site with no backups! This version is no longer maintained.
Note: While this module is excellent in the use cases it presents, it doesn't provide you with anything more than that. If you need more functionality for managing taxonomies, please consider the Taxonomy Manager module instead.
