I'm torn (as I always am about this subject). And the further the series gets, the more torn I get. We get more and more characters that have weird statuses, false identities, odd ways they got to the LWM, etc. On top of all that, we get characters who we only see a tiny bit of in one form or the other, even though we know they had both, which makes for stubby pages. IDK, but the way the show is heading, this will continue to get more complicated, not less, and saying "all rules have exceptions" doesn't cut it, when it is turning into us basically evaluating and voting on every character on an individual basis. That's not a rule, that's treating everything like an individual, which is fine if that's how we want to do it, but let's realize that this also makes coming to the wiki for the first time extremely confusing. Honestly, the simplist way is to have a flat rule, no exceptions, and I think I have a pretty good one. The show has made it pretty clear that the LWM is very unique in that it is a world that does not have magic naturally, and therefore is significatly less connected then all the other "literature" worlds. The LWM may, in fact, create all the other worlds, it seems from recent episodes. So I suggest we have a flat rule to have two pages for (nearly) all the characters. One for when they are in the LWM (which would use there LWM curse name, alias, etc.) as the title, and one for when they are in any other world besides the LWM (under there FTL or whatever name). Yes, this means Emma would get a second page due to being born in LWM and visiting again in season 2. But then we would have a simple no exceptions rule to character page creation. Thoughts?
