I'm of the opinion that the DS and DST wiki should be separate because of how different they are. Wikis are usually used as a resource by newer players, and the vast majority of people coming in here are DST players, not DS players (I've met DST players who didn't know DS was even a thing). While a lot of mechanics and such are similar between DS and DST, there's a lot of big and small changes that are hard to list down in one article. Merged DS and DST article, such as the Cursed Woodie page, have information written on it that you'd assume are true for both games, but they're actually only true to DS. And it's hard to identify which belongs to which on a single article.

As a compromise, I think if DS and DST mechanics on a certain topic works too differently from each other, they should belong on two different articles. This is especially a concern if you realise that Klei is going to be reworking every character for DST, but not DS. When a DST player hears about a new DST update to one of the characters and their first instinct is to check the wiki, they'll be met with irrelevant information about an almost completely different character for a different game.
