A few points

1) Despite what WHook said, the Wish Realm is NOT a realm about the Dark Curse being or not being cast. It is a realm where Emma is not the Savior. Period. That is what Queenie wished for, that's what we saw. WHook has ZERO chance to know whatever happened to EF Hook, so his claim that their lives were the same up to a point has no value, it was minor dialogue that can't serve for us to base the whole dynamics of the WR on.

2) This was already discussed (not that it can't be brought up again, fine). Just like the discussion about WSmee being or not being named William. The thing is we DO NOT know. We have no valid source, and if even Gold calling Belle Mrs. Gold isn't enough for her to be renamed as Belle Gold then we most definitely CANNOT go around assuming names or whatever else are interchangeable between EF and WR. As everyone else pointed, WRoland doesn't exist, for instance, meaning that who can say that EF Alice exists? Couldn't EF Hook's grandparents have had one daughter while WHook's grandparents had two? People can have more or less children in one reality or another.

3) Ages vary. History vary. Why should we pretend that anything remained the same then? Apparently, there are still seven dwarves, but no WHappy. I mean, the whole WR is probably one of the hugest plot holes in history, but the wiki can't use that as an excuse to treat information as it suits better or more "comfortable". The policies and logics state that nothing can be added unless we have a source. That alone should be enough for us to avoid including any information that was not explicitly presented. About names, let's remember that the subjects didn't even know David's name in EF (as proved in 213), because he went by James. Yet, 611 shows that he was already called Prince David in WR. So, anyone could argue that Alice could be an alias because she was wanted for murder or whatever. She could be known as Alice there and actually be named Gertrude in EF. Who knows?
