Sure, they use it for a duration of the curse (and sometimes after), but they are still their original selves, just under a spell. Technically I could argue that their actual Storybrooke identites lasted for only one season, because although they used their cursed names after the curse broke, they were their old selves regardless of what namae they used.

It would be pointless for example, to use Mr. Gold or Weaver for Rumple's page, because even though he has used Mr. Gold for a majority of the series, he's still Rumplestiltskin through all of it. Even though he was sometimes still called Gold after the curse broke, he was actually Rumplestitskin again at that point, as he had gained back all of his previous memories.

Same with Snow. She used Mary Margaret for a majority of the sereis, but after the first curse broke at the end of Season 1, she's technically Snow White again, even if she used the Mary Margaret name.

Regina is a special case. Her birth name was Regina, and she used the name in Storybrooke as well, but there's a difference: she didn't have a last name in the Enchanted Forest. Her page should be called simply "Regina" rather than "Regina Mills" or "Roni". Her evil counterpart from Season 6 could then take the Evil Queen title for her page, to distinguish between the two.

Regina is not a special case, and she was still the Evil Queen while she was not cursed. So yeah; her page would be "Evil Queen", which I find atrocious to even  agree with.

Same for Archie. Are we really gonna call him "Jiminy Cricket"? That's the name he had while he was a cricket.

Honestly, I'd rather disagree with the merge rather than having half of our pages being wrongly names. She still may have been the Evil Queen until she drank Dr. Jekyll's serum, but then how would her other half from Season 6 be named? Wouldn't it make sense to name that half the Evil Queen, and call the main character Regina to help outsiders to the wiki understand which version is being talked about, should they venture on here?

Splitting the Evil Queen did not erase her past. The Evil Queen is the named they gave to her bad self because that's when she was the baddest for the most. But it does not, and won't ever, erase the fact that Regina was the Evil Queen.
