MERGE

The current rule is: a character gets two pages if they are cursed. We currently understand cursed as brought to LWM via the Dark Curse. However, this has exceptions, clearly: Aurora and Phillip were cursed in that case. They were affected by the curse in the same way as Zelena or Tinker Bell, for instance. Neal himself was cursed. Even if he was in his father's body, he came to the LWM and lost his memories of the missing year. And that's just the top of the iceberg. Many users are confused when they search for a character and seem to believe there's information missing when it actually is in the wiki, but in another page. Also, the ton of redirects would be simplified by merging. The characters themselves do not believe to be two personas, but BOTH in one. That's the whole point since season two and David's speech. They still call themselves as they did in the EF, for instance, Zelena is frequently called the Wicked Witch or Gold the Crocodile, even if she is no longer green and he no longer looks like the Dark One. New characters continue to pop up and mess things, because it's not likely we will get to see enough backstories to any new people during all timeframes before, during and after each curse, so that we would not have much information for a counterpart page. It also is kind of not nice to see the New Characters section in seasons pages to include Eric as débuting in "Ariel" then Eric débuting in "The New Neverland", the latter having one paragraph in his page. That just to mention one case. As to the name of the page, I would say it should be labeled as the name the person went by WHEN THE FIRST CURSE HIT. That would give us Baelfire and Pinocchio and Ingrid and all. Also, we would still have the rule of not naming a page differently than the character is credited, so Cinderella would not be named Ella. As to characters with more than one credited name, I would prefer just name instead of titles, namely Zelena instead of Wicked Witch of the West and Maurice instead of Sir Maurice. Also, keeping counterparts apart is confusing in one other thing, trivia in episodes says it includes Cpatain Hook from Peter Pan (Story) but not Belle from Beauty and the Beast just beacuse we only see the SB counterpart. Come on, it's the same Belle, sometimes with even more connections to the fairytlale then EF Belle. These are some points, I'm sure there are more. Also, appearances would be nicer to see if they included both counterparts. It would bury frequent comments like "Hey, Tinker Bell appears in 316!" and "Cinderella appears in Wonderland". I would say we could have summaries divided into collapsible tables. Or tabs indiffrently. As to the infobox, we could use two pictures as we do with Seasons, one poster for each half.
