I like that idea. I think that could work with a few caveats.

I've thought more about restricting those empty alternative pages and come to a this resolution: We need to have an own page for everything using Comic Appearance Templates and for subjects in the Image Template, also using earth designation should be mandatory for alternate realities. That page could be redirected to the main page if there's not enough content to justify the alternate page and create a section there if needed. I don't believe that a member limit is a good way to determine this. If there are a lots of alternate sections cluttering the main page, that whole section should be moved to own separate page. Also at least in those redirect situations, relevant appearances, images, etc. categories should be made subcategories of main categories. I'm not sure should all the alternate categories be included there as well.

That should also apply to the characters, teams, organizations, locations, items and vehicles. I think it would be very helpful to separate alternate reality appearances and images from the main reality. Race appearances are little different because usually there is some character from that race and therefore no need to categorize race appearance separately at all. I also support the different approach to the Humans, there's no need to categorize them at all. I'm not so sure about Homo sapiens.

I also suggest that we leave the main page for a race as it is and create a new disambiguation page named with "(disambiguation)". We could link to that in the top of the main page. That would make linking and searching much easier and I believe it's also better for SEO. I think that all disambig pages should be treated this way but I haven't polished my thoughts enough to make a proposition yet. This would be a good place to test it.
