So these are a lot of comments to take in, and I reckon that most of us are probably lost by now what the consensus is. I am going to try to organize everyone's answers and you guys let me know if I have them all correct.

Soranin:

1. No to merging Hidden Ones with Assassins, OoA with Templars
2. N/A
3. No to moving "Artabanus' group", yes to "Iltani's Order"
4. Yes, call Kassandra a proto-Assassin because it was in her marketing, right?
5. N/A

Lacrosse

1. No to merging because the transition from Hidden Ones to Assassins is more than just a rebranding
2. N/A
3. No to "Artabanus' group", yes to "Iltani's Order"
4. ambivalent
5. Support Zero's proposal (but wants to see how it is worded first)

Zero

1. ambivalent
2. noted that Valhalla interviews mentions the presence of Hidden Ones in the Viking Age
3. Yes to merging/renaming both "Artabanus' group" and "Iltani's Order"
4. Yes to Kassandra being a proto-Assassin because of sourcing (otherwise would have been opposed)
5. Yes

Cris

1. Yes, merge Hidden Ones w/Assassins and OoA w/Templars
2. Waiting on Valhalla
3. No to renaming both
4. Either way, but yes if following tEG 2.0
5. Support but clarify for readers

Sima

1. Yes, merge the pages
2. Waiting on Valhalla, but call Assassins in the meantime
3. No to moving both
4. Yes because sourcing
5. Support Zero's proposal, provided we clarify where necessary

Cyfiero

1. Yes, merge Hidden Ones w/Assassins and OoA w/Templars
2. Waiting on Valhalla, but call Assassins in the meantime
3. No to moving "Artabanus' group", yes to moving "Iltani's Order"
4. Yes because sourcing
5. Support Zero's proposal, provided we clarify where necessary

Vilka

1. No, don't merge Hidden Ones w/Assassins and don't merge OoA w/Templars
2. N/A
3. N/A
4. N/A
5. Yes, support Zero's proposal

Vetinari

1. No, don't merge the pages but the relation b/w Hidden Ones & Assassins, OoA & Templars should be clarified for readers (i.e. they are continuations)
2. Viking Assassins should be referred to the name they use in Valhalla, of course, but defer to using "Assassin" if there is no other option. Definitely do not use "Hidden One".
3. N/A
4. N/A
5. No to Zero's proposal (does not explicitly oppose but prefers to only pull proto-Assassin to before Hidden Ones)

Extrapolating RShepherd's response prior to the 5 questions I listed out:

1. N/A
2. N/A
3. N/A
4. No Kassandra was not a proto-Assassin (but "it would ultimately be up to the loremasters if she qualifies", meaning defer to sources?)
5. Yes, we can use "Assassin" and "Templars" for even Darius and Iltani and call the OoA Templars.

I understand that you said that we should be consulting with an official Ubisoft writing team, but in our experience, that has not been helpful. :(

In any case, it seems that our wiki unanimously agrees on referring to Hidden Ones as Assassins and Order of the Ancients Templars at the very least.
