It means to Move, Separate the Question or Move to Bad Spelling/Grammar Tier of the alternates of that question. An alternate is just another way of asking a question.
Sometimes the alternates don't belong to the current question. Those should be either moved to another question, or split into a new question. The opposite of splitting is merging, and only supervisors can do that.
Then there are the good and bad grammar tiers. If something is misspelled, uses poor grammar, makes no sense, or is a statement or a rant, then it belongs under bad grammar.
Supervisors can also trash alternates in case they are truly undecipherable, cannot be answered, or violate the rules.

What can you do to get rid of the edit alternates?
Alternates on their own cannot be edited. If split, however, the previously alternate question can be edited as long as the question does not already exist (Supervisors can merge in this case). Therefore, there is no way to get rid of "edit alternates", as it is a feature that does not exist.

How do you batch merge in WikiAnswers?
Sadly, there is no supervisor power to batch merge questions yet. There is something similar to this, which is the split and merge feature in the 'Edit Alternates' section of any question. You can click that button to split and merge all selected alternates and move them to another question, all at once; however, the question must already be in the alternates to do so.
