An argument can be made both ways. There are many changed mechanics between the two games. Every single weapon and armor piece, for example, now include additional stats (and in many cases altered stats from their DaSI variants), so it wouldn't look great if the page was essentially divided in half with two sets of weapon/armor templates. Binoculars have a different icon now, even thought the DaSII Binoculars page currently has the old one. Even in cases where the icon is unchanged, they will obviously be found in different places, so you would either have to have two separate templates with different found parameters, or have the different locations within the same template. The other option would be to remove the found parameter within the template and limit the location to two different availability sections. In the case of Estus Flasks, the amount held and the number of times that they can be upgraded is also different between the games. There will also be players that will only want to look up info for Dark Souls II or vise versa, and having to sift through unwanted information may not be ideal.

However, there may be certain pages, like certain gameplay mechanics and attributes/stats, that might be best kept combined.
