I would like to note two main points that you may have missed.

1. "Land" and "World" can still be used interchangeably as they are on-screen and on this wiki. But a slight difference between these terms does exist and it should at least be recognized.

2. Primarily, the term "realm" is used as an umbrella term for lands and worlds. Yes, the difference between "land" and "world" is contradictory at times, but using one collective term, "realm", to cover both circumvents this. Current usages on this wiki include "Template:Realm", "Wish Realm" and "Dark Realm".

Many on-screen examples are used on-screen for this usage of "realm", just a few key examples are below:
 * Mr. Gold, 2x22: "True love, Miss Swan, the only magic powerful enough to transcend realms and break any curse." - specifically, he is using FTL and LWM as an example, but it applies to all worlds as magic exists everywhere
 * Belle, 3x18: "Why on Earth, or any realm, would I help you?"
 * Season 5: The Underworld is frequently referred to as "Hades' realm" or "this realm".
 * Mr. Gold, 6x10: "There are realms of dark magic beyond even my reach" - in this case, realms = worlds, not places within worlds

I'm not trying to create a "perfect" system, but I am aiming to simplify and streamline terminology with what is seen on-screen.

As for the current usage of "realm" for EF, Arendelle, etc., my explanation above notes that while being significant locations within FTL, they are each vastly different, so using a single term like "realm" would itself be confusing.

P.S. Merida did not use "realm" to describe DunBroch, she used "land" or "kingdom", and she used the same for Camelot. Also, being "pretty sure" that it would have been used for Camelot is contradictory as in the past for various discussions, and just above, you yourself have stated that we can really only go on canon information, not assumption.
