Merge non-English Western ItemDex pages with their English counterparts?

Given this, how about we merge all the other Western ItemDexes (which are likely to remain incomplete forever otherwise) into the English ItemDex? The advantages would be:
[li]Reducing duplicate information in pages, which may make maintaining the ItemDex easier.[/li]
[li]As an extension of the above point, reducing incorrect information from copy-pasting (e.g. the 2eme Etage page was in the "ACE glitch items" category, which it does not belong to).[/li]
[li]Eliminating red links from the ItemDex index, which (together with the straight up lack of entries) may otherwise confuse people with a foreign game.[/li]
[li]Highlighting the items that are actually different between languages, encouraging glitch researchers to study them on language versions other than the ones where we already know their behaviors.[/li]
We can still add a section below the ItemDex pages to note the language versions where the item is confirmed to have the same behavior, although it should be understood that all items can be assumed to have the same behavior unless noted otherwise. And I guess if a language-specific glitch item is really notable in a non-English game, they can still have their own page, although I doubt there would be a need for such a special case. (ItemDex pages are generally not very long.)
