From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

I agree. Nahald deserved to know the reason why we have no proof Petronella is her name. Now that this idea is back off the table, let us return to the questions at hand:

2. How should we deal with Osgood the collective identity as compared to Osgood the human?

Here I agree with Tangerineduel. Osgood is a complex identity/function assumed by various individuals. All these individuals become indistinguishable while wearing this identity: we cannot tell them apart and they self-identify as indistinguishable. Thus, I still believe the human Osgood should be on the same page as Osgood collective with sections separating various periods of Osgood's life (e.g., human-only, human vs. Zygon, human plus Zygon, alone again, Osgood plus Bonnie Osgood, but this can be determined later and separately).

Here is another analogy in support of this course of actions: Dalek Emperor. It is very clear that this function was held by various individual Daleks/Kaleds. Moreover, Davros moved from his personality to being the Emperor and then back. All the various Emperors are collected on one page, and Davros has his own separate page. This suggests having one page for Osgood (human + collective), one page for Osgood (Zygon) from the Day of the Doctor and one page for Bonnie.

4. How do we disambiguate the Zygon Osgood from Day?

Due to the note from CzechOut that using Zygon at the beginning of the name limits the functionality of search box and search suggestions, I prefer Osgood (Zygon) for the description of the Zygon who took Osgood's body before the moment it assumed her personality too.
