Appear to edit a mere half page (6)
I believe the answer is:
emerge
'appear' is the definition.
(emerging is a kind of appearing)
'edit a mere half page' is the wordplay.
'edit' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'edited' mean this).
'half' means to take half the letters.
'page' with half the letters taken is 'ge'.
'mere' anagrammed gives 'emer'.
'emer'+'ge'='EMERGE'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for emerge that I've seen before include "Become gradually apparent" , "Become known or apparent" , "Come out or surface" , "Come into greater prominence" , "Come into view" .)
