As much as I would like to see the characters merged so that we don't have to look between three pages for their history and appearances, all these name debates and other complications make the merge seem not that great of an idea. And because of my immediate gratification, two months seem too long. It should probably be two weeks before we start reverting stuff. I dunno if you recall, but this is not in discussion anymore. The merge is happening, like it or not. Lady and Ruben are already working to fix the problems. This is not the point. I really don't understand all of you guys... All of you voted for the merge to actually happen, but you can't have pacience. Come on. It's not like the world is going to end. And I was up for the merge at first because of how the fairy tale personas and cursed personas merged after the first curse was broken. But after the name debates resulted in a so-called "compromise" where every thing got merged on the original persona's page which would be used as a template in the alternate names, which I couldn't agree with because we could have simply used redirects instead of duplicate pages and Regina was merged on the Evil Queen page, which is a title a lot of users thought betrays her character development. It was agreed on that Regina's page shouldn't be at Evil Queen, yet there she is with the title. Regina Mills, which is the page title she deserves more is just one of those pages that is just a copy. This whole merging business is very divisive to the community and is making a big mess. And since the show is ending anyway, why change up the wiki in such a big way? Right now, it seems like the way we handled it before was fine. And we're even merging the galleries, even though all those images could put a strain on some computers? And I think the merge should be tested in the admin's userspace, not the mainspace. All of the things you mentioned (like the Evil Queen thing) were all agreed on. The page will be titled under all of the character's counterparts. "Evil Queen" is one of Regina's counterparts. And about "the merge should be tested in the admin's userspace, not the mainspace", i don't know if you realized yet, but the mhe merge is happening. It is not a test anymore.
