Well I believe as an encyclopedia we should avoid taking social/political stances - while of course also doing our best not to offend anyone - so in order to provide as much objective information as possible, it would make sense to include a given person/character’s legal name, whether that be their birth name or not. Surely if they were credited for their work in the DWU with their birth name we would at least include that name (perhaps preceded by “formerly...”) so people could actually find who they’re looking for, right?
