I'd like to protest vigorously the current protocol of creating separate pages for the Dark Souls and Dark Souls II variants of the same item, enemy, spell, etc.

This is a needless practice that only adds further strain to browsers and editors, as both of them must now type (Dark Souls II) on the end of the page title for anything DS2-related they want to look up or link to, unless the item in question is unique to Dark Souls II, in which case the viewer or editor wastes just as much time by making that assumption. It is overall a huge waste of time for everyone involved.

I suggest that one page be used, with it being the editors' responsibility to point out game-specific details such as locations and loot. I had done this on the Basilisk page (http://darksouls.wikia.com/wiki/Basilisk?oldid=115457), because the Basilisk is near-identical between both games, but my edit was reverted wholesale (a practice that is identified and condemned by Wikia) with the only reason given being "Make a new page".

I refuse to do so, because I will not support such an extremely deleterious protocol. I also do not want to cause an edit war on the matter.
