I shall tackle all of your arguments at once.

"This would be inconsistent with every other PvZ2 plant, since the PvZ2 plant is meant to be a returning plant. Splitting them would suggest that said plants are one and not the same."

This wiki already has inconsistency. Look at the Gargantuars and Imps that are separated.

"It would still be easier and less time-consuming to keep the two articles together to explain the differences more concisely. As for the primal plants, guess what? Said information has also been transferred where necessary and abridged otherwise, as is the case when Potato Mine's article lists Swiss Family Robinson as inspiration."

The primal plants' etymology is exactly the same as their counterparts. None of it is "abridged" in a major way, the article etymologies simply state "Like it's modern counterpart, (insert repeated etymology)". Cactus's article repeating the etymology from the other Cactus page should not be a reason to merge them.

"Also, is it really that hard to make an internal link to a blog on the website let alone this wiki(a)? I have more grammatical nitpicks I could do, like how you said "a disambiguation," but that would be off-point. :3"

I know me bringing this up again may piss you off, but please refrain from juvenilely insulting me.

"As for Cactus changing, guess what? The method of obtaining it? The sun cost? Both of them are invalid and boo-hoo. Cactus gets to attack THREE zombies at once instead of just ONE at a time? THAT'S VERY DIFFERENT!! Ha-ha, no. Oh, but instead of stretching up, they duck down! Yeah, so? Is that even strategically reliable? It actually appears that a ducked Cactus is weaker than Spikeweed despite costing more sun. This would theoretically mean that Torchwood is different for not giving peas AoE power or Puff-shroom is different for having a timer."

I'm sorry to break this to you, but they still serve their original purpose. Puff-shroom is still a low sun cost way to kill early zombies, and Torchwood still increases the damage of peas. Cactus was meant to counter Balloon Zombie in the first game, and doesn't anymore. How, pray tell, does it still serve it's original purpose?

"And no, Balloon Zombie and Newspaper Zombie should not separated. The former is too fundamentally similar to be split, and second is just stupid and pathetic to begin with."

Really? That's your reason? I don't feel I can take you seriously if you're going to act like that.

And if you don't want to spend time creating the new page, relinking things, that's fine. You don't have to. There's other users (me included) that are more than willing to do all of that.

As me and other users here have stated, this series' main focus is it's strategic elements. And if completely different strategic actions are needed to use this plant, why does it need to stay merged? The Cactus page is a cluttered mess, and separating it will be the best way to keep things orderly. And if you care so much for consistency, doing this will Cactus will mean we need to do it for Balloon Zombie and Newspaper Zombie as well, to be consistent.
