You say it is complicated to see appearances for Regina Mills and for the Evil Queen. Most people would see "Regina appears in The Outsider" and would think "No, she does not!". If we see Lana appears as the Evil Queen, it is more precise and easy. Read my first comment in this thread (the fifth overall) and see some reasons why merging would throw away half the things the wiki does. They have been times when I've had difficulty finding info on the ones that have seperate pages for people with nicknames instead of counterparts. You do realize the most pages you have to check is literally two, right? And that they link to each other in the infobox. It really shouldn't be that difficult. And they are not nicknames, they are aliases, that's kind of a big distinction. A nickname is that David gets called Charming by Snow (and later others). An alias is almost like a counterpart becuase they are trying to hide who they really are, and have a fake life to go with the name. Neal and August never went around saying "Oh yeah, I'm from a magical world with fairies and dragons and dwarfs and I got here through a portal", they lied because they needed the alias to survive in our world. The evil queen & the mad hatter are nicknames not counterparts. Jefferson appered in the Doctor, but you can't go to his page and get the link to the episode You have to go to the Mad hatter's page. I thought me and the people at imdb had imagined the whole episode.
