Some ideas:

1.Set some guidelines for general naming

It may seem "cool" to use stars and other wierd characters, but in the end it detracts from its purpose. Your goal is to facilitate the ability to reach the page and read it. Cuteness comes second.

2. Ditch stars and asterisks

It can't be easily entered. There's no useful benefit to keeping it aside from the cuteness factor. If the wiki grows that will end up as a redirect page because of arguments over stars vs no stars.

3. Create a main page discussing the orc

The orc page should talk about orcs in general. If there are attributes and differences, they could be added to an infobox or to subpages.

From your explanation I haven't seen enough differences to justify 3 different pages. In my experience it is often best to start up with a huge page, and then separate the pages as needed. Starting with a lot of pages makes it harder to create links and such. Currently the community is no one (I'm starting the wiki), so that's why I came here (to discuss it with the community[.wikia.com] =p).

1 & 2) That's fair enough

3) There's a few reasons why Ive been leaning towards separate pages;
 * Different "dungeons" drop different versions of the heroes, so it seemed more "logical" to link to the specific version of the monster. (not necessary admittedly, and can do it with redirects still I guess).
 * The game does (behind the scenes) keep track of each "star" version of a hero with a separate ID (not front-facing though).
 * I wanted to list each star list using dpl (so an up-to-date table of stats is available).
 * On top of the "dash skill" being a different type, the "passive" slightly chances, and I believe the rate at which levels increases specific stats may be different (at least for some). Admittedly each of these could be in an infobox.

How about something like this; each hero has a "data" page, which has a template with all it's unique data (image, stats, special, etc), and the "real" page transcludes these in a tabber, with a description (and stuff like the "skill tree" type thing for it) above / below it. So each monster would have a single "content" page, while still having separate "data" pages (possibly as subpages if I was to avoid asterisks / stars).
