Again:
 * This are not confusing: You click on them, if they redirect right to the same page, you make the maths and understand that this is the only version, no big deal. That's how it did for me when I started using the database (before becoming an editor).
 * The redundancy of having a link on the title field and on the current alias field is nothing. I never heard someone bothered by it before you. There's a good distance between the two links and it does no harm (but the inconsistency from a page to another isn't harmonious). Here is a real case of redundancy in links.
 * We should not have to add links manually on the real name field because:
 * There's much work to do and it was before and could still be done automatically, because:
 * The cases where the link would appears on the real name field are either:
 * Often already created and manually added for characters with a redirect because no other versions (ex: James Smith (Earth-616) is unique in Multiverse, and has a -useless- James Smith redirect created, and the link is often added), so the redirect you wish to not exist already exist, no matter the change I propose.
 * Other cases have no alternate versions and no redirect (ex: James Smith (Earth-616) with no redirect page, so apart from the moment someone create a redirect to it, no problem. And if someone does it, a useless click and that's the only problem).
 * Every other characters with multiple versions (or homonyms): The real name fields links are sometimes added, but if they were always automatically, they would never link back to the page, because the link would be leading to a disambig and not to a redirect (ex: James Smith (Earth-616), under his alias Power Man, also exist as James Smith (Earth-9999999, two versions listed under the disambiguation page James Smith).

I understand your want to have an ideal situation on the wikia, but that's not possible, we can at least try to have first a better one (and in an ideal situation, real names have links that sent to the real name disambiguation if different from the alias disambiguation)...

To sum up on the "real name" part of the debate (I put stuff in bold because at some point, there's a lot of text):
 * The problem you're referring to isn't concerned by my proposal because the "useless click/redirect-back-to-the-page" problem would exist only if someone create a useless redirect. And when they do create those, they usually add the brackets as well: The situation is already that way.
 * In other words, the problem you're referring to already exist and my proposal would not change a single bit of it (but it would render navigation more fluid and this without adding more work).
 * + The consistency in the appearance, who is a trivia matter, but not as trivial as the problem of having the same link on the title field (all the way up the infobox) and on the current alias field (after the image and the real name field, and in another appearance). The redirect-back-to-the-page is annoying but also informative on its own: There's no other version of this character, and that's it.
