Prepare the patch! Please note that getting the bug assigned is not necessary in submitting the patch.
Just to correct the first description of this bug.
The bug does not lie in the API. The Api messages do not need to be changed as the SpecialPage does not get the messages from or infact use the API at all!
the bug instead lies on SpecialMergeitems on lines 156 ish
Thus the messages are in the ChangeOpsMerge class!
