Function details: Go through the talk pages of featured articles and merge the {{tl|DYK}}, {{tl|featured article}}, {{tl|peerreview}}, {{tl|oldpeerreview}} and {{tl|GA}} templates into the {{tl|Article History}} template. If the article does not have an {{tl|Article History}} template, then create one (but all FAs should already have one).
