I see what you're saying, however it still bothers me how there is no one complete site which covers the entire Frozen-franchise and its spin-offs. While I do understand what you're trying to do with this wiki, to me it just feels like such a shame that a great wiki such as this doesn't delve deeper into the franchise but is restricted to a certain part. I hope you understand what I'm saying.

Yes, the creators of OUAT clearly states that their show is different from Frozen, but the fact that it still incorporates the entire world from Frozen and its characters and themes really makes it an alternate continuation to the established world from the film and thus indeed part of the bigger franchise. I mean it's one thing if a show references Frozen, but OUAT have developed an actual alternate continuation connected to Frozen and I can't just ignore that. OUAT does expand the continuity, it's just that it is an alternate continuity (and Kitsis and Horowitz does make that very clear), and those are normal among fictional works and they are seldom ignored by the mother-franchise and its fandom.

Also, I'd like to note that the definition of franchise is as follows (from Wikipedia); A media franchise is a collection of media for which components exist in multiple forms, such as film, literature, television, or video games. It generally involves the licensing of intellectual property (IP) to other parties and partners for commercial exploitation across a range of mediums and by a variety of industries for merchandising purposes. My point here is that OUAT's Frozen-arc is indeed part of the franchise.

I believe when Jennifer said they were going to a wedding it was in a more "joking" manner, not necessarily an actual explanation as to where they were going. But even if she really meant it, it wouldn't pose a continuation-issue as the King and Queen could have said they were going for a wedding as a cover-up for where they were actually going (as we even see in the show that the parents kept it a secret where they were really going).

Yes, OUAT incorporated the tomb stones with the runes, but that still doesn't mean Kitsis and Horowitz knew the names of the King and Queen, and I think I'd consider Idun and Gerda to be part of one and the same name, much in the same way as Ida-Lisa or Lars Gunnar for example. This is just speculation, but my main point is that on closer inspection this isn't really any significant continuation-issues, and the alternative continuation and expansion from OUAT fits perfectly into the established world of Frozen.

The fact that the contents on the wiki requires relevance is exactly my point, only what is (closely) related to/of relevance to Frozen (like OUAT's Frozen-arc) should be included on the site. I understand what you're saying and having this cohesive-standard, but I still can't escape the realization that OUAT's Frozen-arc is part of the franchise and has a significant connection to the original film, and I still don't think OUAT's alternative continuation does any harm. But of course, only the administrators are in a position to decide what happens to the wiki, so I will let you decide what to do, but I still consider that it would add to a better experience and I wish to make my opinion heard.
