''This is a editing discussion – please focus on changes to implement on the wiki. For general discussion (including theories, speculation, and opinions), see s6e4 thread and Is Clarke dead? thread.''

Page Split
As far as pages, there's three main options:
 * 1) Page follows body (i.e. Clarke has zero pages; Josephine has two pages, one for her first body and second for her latest body)
 * 2) Page follows mind (i.e. one Clarke page, one Josephine page – now that Clarke is out of the picture, updates go to Josephine's page)
 * 3) Page follows mind+body combo (i.e. three pages: Clarke, original!Josephine, and Clarke!Josephine)

The first option doesn't make sense to me. Clarke's history, etc. are NOT Josephine's history, so it doesn't make sense to rename page as Josephine and claim that it's her story. Josephine's story is on her first page, so that's where her story should continue. I also dislike option #3: it creates too many pages, especially when half of them will be near blank.

So, I vote for #2. Follow the mind. That does mean merging the "Mr. Lightbourne" and "Russell Lightbourne" (and similar with Simone) since that's one mind. (There is no reason for Russell & Simone hosts pages, because we literally know nothing about the two hosts. On the other hand, Delilah page is kept plus a new Priya page.) The rest of my proposal below will be based on option #2.

Host pages
So what to do with Clarke and Delilah pages? I think we should put them on halt, more or less.

Status: alive. The body is still alive (and I'll argue so is the minds, see Thread:86182 for more) and from previous situations, we don't list character as dead until body is dead. E.g. when Ontari was brain dead, we listed her as "Alive (brain dead)" for a week. We can do something similar here, e.g. "Alive (host to Priya)".

The rest of infobox: paused. That's to say Josie's/Priya's info (e.g. alias/titles, last appearance, etc) do NOT go to Clarke's/Delilah's pages.

Throughout the Series, Killed Victims: paused or all updates make it clear that body is being controlled by someone else.

Personality, Quotes: paused. Those are clearly Josie's/Priya's and not host body's.

Appearances: this is a bit iffy. I faced similar situation on another wiki I manage. What we did:
 * 'appears' only when mind appears (when we get real!Clarke)
 * 'mention' only when directly talking about real!Clarke (just saying "Clarke" is insufficient, saying "Clarke is Madi's mother" is a mention)
 * 'absent' otherwise - 'credit' goes to primary character actress is currently portraying (which is now Josie/Priya)

Prime pages
So now for the Primes, aka the parasites (or in The Host speak, the souls).

Status: Alive. If we want to be more detailed "Alive ", maybe even add " Deceased "

Infobox image: Have two, one for original body, one for current body. (E.g. see w:c:lucifer:Lucifer for three images infobox.)

Actor info (lead paragraph & infobox): list both/all. For infobox, list primary actor first with parenthetical note with each, e.g. "JR Bourne Sean Maguire ".

The rest of article: update, including infobox last appearance.

Appearances:
 * 'appears' only when mind appears (when we get fake!Clarke)
 * 'flashback' when we get flashbacks of past bodies but not of current one
 * 'mention' when Prime is mentioned
 * 'credit' otherwise - until primary character actress is currently portraying switches back to host's mind

Other pages
Cast listing on episode & season page: If portraying both characters, list both characters. Otherwise list only character portraying. If absent, then list as "Eliza Taylor as Josephine Lightbourne (credit only)".

Cast pages: List Eliza Taylor as portraying both characters.

Text on various pages: make it clear who's in control of the body. If for some reason you need to use host's name to refer to Prime and it needs to be linked, then pipe link.

Conclusion
Above is my proposal, I welcome further input.
