Merge proposal

"Base change" and "Change of base" mean the same thing so it's seems silly to have people looking through both lists to find the article they want.--RDBury (talk) 05:02, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As is evidenced by the articles listed on each of those pages, these two terms do not mean the same thing. "Base change" is an expression used in algebraic geometry and the theory of automorphic representations (and possibly used to sometimes mean "change of base"), and for automorphic forms, the expression "change of base" is never used. Conversely, I have not heard of the term "base change" being used to refer to the concepts listed on "change of base", except for the use in algebraic geometry.
