This is the OUAT wiki, and while the show creators were writers for Lost, the two shows don't have any connection besides that. Actually, it's more than that. The format is really like the way the first seasons of Lost were created: a main present plot in a new environment (the Island/Storybrooke) and a minor past plot in a previous setting (US, Australia, South Korea, etc./Fairytale land, etc.) Also, they appear to be in the same fictional universe as proved by Ajira Airlines, Apollo chocolates, and other fictional items.

A Lost actors page might not work, but I think, a page everything about Lost could work. That may include references, actors, similarities, etc.

P.S. I won't get surprised if we'll have flashforward episodes like how they did it in Lost, considering we already have a flash-sideways mega-episode: Snow Drifts+There's No Place Like Home.

The writers do like dropping Lost easter eggs onto Once Upon a Time, but whether this means the two shows exist in the same universe has yet to be clarified by them. Like, for myself, I always assumed they like hiding Lost easter eggs and Lost number references because Adam and Eddy worked a long time on Lost. I never thought them doing that meant the two shows might be in the same fictional universe. I still feel that idea might be a theory, though, since the writers haven't actually said anything about them being in the same universe.

Your idea of a Lost actors page is already what we have on the Lost References page, except it's exclusively for in-show references, which I believe should stay that way, but of course, I'll adhere to whatever the majority wants. The shows may never be confirmed to be in the same fictional universe, but it is confirmed that the shows draw parallels to each other in both structure, references, easter eggs, and using some of the same actors. I also thought Adam and Eddy confirmed a while back that where a recurring theme of Lost was "fatherhood", a recurring theme of Once is "motherhood", which is yet another parallel. Besides that, I also see a parallel with Lost having a sci-fi base, and Once having a fantasy base. So the Lost reference page could definitly be expanded to include these kinds of things.

They DID confirm that, Lost was about fatherhood, while Once is about motherhood, Lost was about redemption, Once is about finding hope.
