But without Killian, this new "redirect" thing cannot help us. Neither of us knows exactly how it works, and we still haven't found a way to get rid of the top name. I don't get what you're trying to say, but you're wrong. The "redirect thing", as you say, works perfectly and does solve a lot of problems. We don't need Killian to put that part in place. I already put it in place, and I'm fairly sure Lily did it too.

The last issues are mainly from the infobox, which is completely different from the "redirect thing". It should not and does not stop us from using it.

There is absolutely no need to come back to an useless discussion about names, when we already a consensus on that part. Otherwise, we won't ever move on with the merging.

The "redirect thing" does work, and solve the problems of names and links.

Oh, it most certainly does work, but unfortunately, it is not that easy: As you lot may remember, I did start the process a few weeks ago and merged a few pages, but it came to a sudden halt when several users complained about it and said that this was not the format they agreed on (i.e. "Look at Sheriff/Keith's page now. The name "Sheriff of Nottingham" is written at the top, with "Original" and "Cursed". This is not what we agreed (excluding pages like Granny and Jefferson). And if there are some problems like that, we should wait"). The infobox thing should't be a problem, but not everyone sees it that way.

EDIT: Sorry if it sounds like I'm bitching; that wasn't my intent. It is that easy.

The only problem about Sheriff/Keith is that you just made a mistake when you did the merge. It should not say original/cursed in his case, but Keith/Sheriff. The rest is the problem with the infobox aka the same we have on Regina & Hook.

Well, if that is all that is standing in the way, I don't see why we (well, I, since I'm the one who made the mistake) can't correct it and then we can continue the merge :-) Because people rightfully thought we need to fix the infobox issues before going on with that.

I tested a change of format with the Sheriff of Nottingham (ouch; I still kept the "original/cursed", by accident), but you reverted it instead of improving it, so I have one question: What exactly are you (and the others) looking for? An infobox which changes (name? Name AND image?) according to the name on top of the page? I'm not even sure that is possible... Or something else entirely? Becaude what you did on Sheriff's page is not the format we agreed on. The format we agreed on is the one Killian made on the Evil Queen. I don't get why you added that in the name parameter:Sheriff of Notthingham Keith

The top name of the infobox (Regina, Sheriff of Notthingham) aka the name parameter will be invisible. That's the point of it. It won't appear at the end. And that's a coding issue.
