On the matter of:
 * When a name is filled into the field "real name", it would appears as a link if the page (generally a disambig or a redirect to a page) exist ? (like it used to)
 * Same for: the "current alias" field who currently appears as a link only on the "title" part of the infobox.

 * Real names should be redirected to most commonly used alias, Marvel Database:Naming Conventions, and therefore link would be confusing.

The only requirement is to have the redirects done, and most of them already exist (for example Stephen Vincent Strange and Peter Benjamin Parker links to the Doctor Strange and Spider-Man disambiguation pages).

''To note that I'm still in favor of having the aliases' pages as hubs for the different users of an alias (I don't recall how long since we discussed that option). For example, Peter Parker would become the disambiguation for Peter Parker's version, and not a redirect to Spider-Man, who would be a portal starring Peter Parker, but also others Spider-Men (like currently) but without the alternate/others/related of Peter Parker, but even if we never go this way, my point is still valid.''

Mrkermit wrote: Characters without an alias are usually redirected back to the same page and clicking that kind of link is very irritating. But on other pages, it makes that you need more clicks to attain the disambiguation (or a manually added link to reach it directly). For example, Peter Parker (Earth-65) can't link to the disambiguation if I don't add a link. To me, that's way more irritating than simply being redirect to the same page, because in the case I'm presenting, it cut the navigation, forcing you to make a search or modify your link.

Mrkermit wrote: I see no problem with this little redundancy. The problem I see is a lack of consistency on the appearance of pages because people do add the bracket to create a link anyway. 
 * If the link is already at the title, it's redundant to link again.
