Trying to seperate Regina Mills from the Evil Queen (EF) from the Evil Queen (dark side) is giving me a headache. Why, Once? Why do you have to make things so complicated? XD

We have been keeping pages seperate based on their EF persona vs. their Storybrooke persona. so we have things like the Evil Queen v Regina, Snow White v Mary Margaret. It got a little weird when names were not changed (Jefferson (EF) v Jefferson (SB)), but we adapted. We managed things like Zelena, Robin Hood, etc easy enough, keeping seperate pages. But in all of these cases, we had EF story which was largely in the past and SB Story that occured post curse.

with Arthur and company (including Merida), there is only one page, since there truly is no differentiation between EF and SB persona. Same with Hades (and people we met in the UW). Plus the people that were recurring in the UW were continuations of their most previous persona, usually the SB one.

Now with Jekyll and Hyde, and by extension Regina and the EQ (Dark), we have a totally different situation than we have dealt with in the past. the EQ Dark both is and is not Regina. Even with the current dual pages, the SB persona is a single threaded continuation of one character. with the change for J&H and R&EQ, it is no longer a single threaded continuation of a single character, but a complete split in storyline, with each entity having a distinct and differet set of adventures that to not (to our knowledge) have any impact on their other half.

while I initally favored Killian's approach, I think the proposal for a third page, as confusing as it may seem, is the correct presentation (at least based on what we know now). the Dark, Post Serum Rendition of the EQ is not the same as the EQ from the EF, nor is it the same as Regina Mills.
