Thank you for expressing your concerns. This topic has been discussed elsewhere a few times already, and there are reasons for the current format. One of the main reasons to keep the pages separate is that there will be people who will only play the first game, and those that only play the second. It's not difficult to imagine people getting frustrated over having to sort through unwanted/irrelevant information.

A browser would not necessarily have to type (Dark Souls II) to jump to a page, that is what navigation templates are for. Leaving the average editor to know whether to make separate section headings for each game, or how to divide an individual heading between the games is asking a bit much and is needlessly complicated.

If we were to consider the possibility of merging the pages, imagine a weapon page like the Longsword combined with the Longsword (Dark Souls II). Not only are the stats different, but there are numerous stats that are entirely new to DaSII, as well as different image icons, in-game descriptions, upgrades, etc. The page would essentially be split in half, with entirely separate templates to reflect the differences. This would make the page overly crowded and make things difficult for people that just want to look at the weapon from one game.

We're not the only wiki that does things this way. Splitting pages from separate games is a common practice for many wikis that cover more than one title. Take a look at the Elder Scrolls wiki as an example. If you still have concerns, I would be glad to discuss them further.
