The merging of the counterparts has begun and as you know, people originally agreed to a system where the article name changes according to the link you click on. However, several users have problems with this system, because of the massive delays with the implemention of the system (we're talking six months) and coding difficulties. I have noticed that many of you are tired of waiting for the merge to be completed, so therefore, I give you the option to pick another alternative.

Let me first remind everyone of the general rules for article names:

"Generally, the Wikia uses the name given in ABC's press release for article names. In the event of a character having more than one press release name, generally, the most recently used press release name is used as the character page name. This creates a solid standard for articles names that would be otherwise chaotic. Additionally, some article pages are a mixture of both the press release name as well as the character's surname that is used on the show. Example: Mary Margaret is the press release name. Blanchard is her surname, and although the character is not credited as "Mary Margaret Blanchard" for the press release, it is used as her article page name."

These are the options which come to mind, based on previous discussions:

Option 1)	The name the character currently goes by as credited in press releases. Option 2)	The character's original counterpart name, as credited in press releases. Option 3)	The name of the counterpart that has appeared the most on-screen. Option 4)	The name that the character personally chooses to go by.

You can, of course, choose a fifth option, which is to continue with the original plan, but that means further delays.
