I got a torrent related message in its public chat that I could enable swarm merging to improve sharing: image

But it points to the http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Swarm_Merging URL. The correct URL would be: https://github.com/BiglySoftware/BiglyBT/wiki/Swarm-Merging

Also the See Swarm Merging for help message doesn't indicate the reason for it. I didn't know if I have it already enabled (I had) or if the message was generated because a merging occurred or some other reason.

Well the correct URL is http://wiki.biglybt.com/w/Swarm_Merging.

However the message has been posted by a Vuze client which is why it contains the old Vuze wiki link.

I suppose I could hack something to change it but not sure I can be arsed. The context for the message is the previous lines, the other client is hinting that an alternative download may contain the same files and hence that swarm merging maybe useful to you.
