Getting back to John’s first question. What utility is being served with the extra 510s Adam added to his last two examples? My adaptation of the fields in question decorated with fake designators:

110 2 University of Washington. ǂb Department of Endodontics
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Later merges with: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Periodontics
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Predecessor of split: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Periodontics and Endodontics

110 2 University of Washington. ǂb Department of Periodontics
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Later merges with: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Endodontics
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Predecessor of split: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Periodontics and Endodontics

Unlike with serials, we have never formally recorded relationships between two bodies that merged (nor two bodies that resulted from a split). Is there any reason to start now?

Bob,

Here's a real life example that I have been working on: the University of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine and the Department of Pathology merged on July 1, 2020 to form the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology.

110 2 University of Washington. ǂb Department of Laboratory Medicine
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Mergee: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Pathology
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Product of merger: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology

110 2 University of Washington. ǂb Department of Pathology
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Mergee: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Laboratory Medicine
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Product of merger: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology

110 2 University of Washington. ǂb Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Component of merger: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Laboratory Medicine
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Component of merger: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Pathology

Splits also present complications and, interestingly, there is no relationship designator to relate the two resulting bodies to each other.  There are only designators to relate the earlier name to each of the resulting names and the resulting name to the two earlier names:

The University of Washington Department of Periodontics and Endodontics split into the Department of Endodontics and the Department of Periodontics:

110 2 University of Washington. ǂb Department of Periodontics and Endodontics
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Product of split: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Endodontics
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Product of split: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Periodontics

110 2 University of Washington. ǂb Department of Endodontics
510 2 University of Washington. ǂb Department of Periodontics
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Predecessor of split: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Periodontics and Endodontics

110 2 University of Washington. ǂb Department of Periodontics
510 2 University of Washington. ǂb Department of Endodontics
510 2 ǂw r ǂi Predecessor of split: ǂa University of Washington. ǂb Department of Periodontics and Endodontics
