Assessing DuplicatesEnsure that it is actually a song where we only want one page.
Choose the page to keep.Hiding a PageIt is often better to hide a duplicate page than to delete it.
Hide the bad page by clicking Admin and then Hide. Check the boxes for transcribers and editors.
A good habit is to edit the lyrics on the bad page to add a note at the top explaining why you hid the page and leave a link to the good page there. The note can literally just say something like:
"Hidden because there is a better page [here](link to better page)"Transferring InformationTitles: Make sure the remaining page has the right title.In general, we want the title to match how it is in Apple MusicIf the bad page is occupying the correct title, change the title of the bad page by appending something like "(duplicate)" or "(dupe)"Lyrics: There may be minor differences in the transcriptions of the two pages. Consider using a text comparison tool in order to compare the lyrics in case the bad page had a few differences that were actually better. One such tool is here: https://countwordsfree.com/comparetexts
Metadаta: You can also compare various metadata bits to make sure the remaining page has all the best metadata, but this is also somewhat optional.
Knowledge: You can also try transferring over any good knowledge in annotations and Q&A, but do not plagiarize.
