I think Season 2 could have different arcs labeled within it but I think the whole season could be called Curse Recovery Arc since even in episodes 2x12 and 2x15 there is still talk and conflict about everyone finding each other. Also, it seems that the Queen Cora Arc and the Home Office Arc overlap since Cora dies in 2x16.

A similar case can be made for OUaTiW. The whole thing can be called the Wonderland Arc but episodes 1-8 could be called Finding Cyrus Arc and episodes 9-13 Battle for Wonderland Arc. In season 2, there's two clear arcs: Snow and Emma finding their way back to Storybrooke, then Cora wreaking havoc in Storybrooke. Cora is the big bad of the entire season, and therefore is present in both arcs, but then Greg and Tamara come into play as the secondary antagonists in the Home Office arc as of 2x17, with Greg being shady as early as 2x13. Don't forget season 2 happened in like 2 weeks, canonically, so of course everyone's still going to be finding each other, since Storybrooke is a county.

And in Wonderland, I will agree with the two mini-arcs. The Battle For Wonderland Arc was definitely superior to the Finding Cyrus Arc for sure and if it had kept that momentum since the beginning, it might still be around. But that's irrelevant.
