Yeah, I just think they need separate listings, I don't mean to deny the historical connection! But you're right, that's probably just a Wiktionary problem. (I've always used Wiktionary because it has more information about other dialects of Chinese and not just Mandarin, but the choice to treat all simplified characters as variants that merely link back to the traditional form is annoying even to me.)

Maybe I should make a mini-list of "useful search tips" at some point

This is maybe not quite on the same topic, but I'd love to know what the search term is for "fanfiction" in Chinese....

Yeah, especially since it can backfire sometimes (as in this case), even though I don't mind it most of the time…

同人小说/同人文, though you also see it abbreviated to 同人! Which I'm pretty sure is an adoption of "doujin" from Japanese, though I don't quite know whether it also applies to other non-fic fanwork or not.
