How can Identical Lists be Merged?

true crime for instance, there are at least five lists called "true crime"

They cannot currently be combined.

currently you say...so in the near-future?

For some value of "near". ;)

I suggested this a while back and Otis liked the idea. But I also noted that it would need to be done carefully (not every librarian should be given the ability) because there are some lists that seem extremely similar but are slightly different that shouldn't be combined.

Maybe there should be a pop-up box when you are creating a list asking if you've checked to see if such a list already exists, and giving possible list titles, such as is the case when adding a NE Quiz question.

or a submission form, like for instance where i could select lists for merging, and an admin could review and approve.

I like both of these ideas actually.

I have seen several identical "Best Books" lists, and cover art related lists.
