*OPPOSE No, they are not considered to be the same thing, DO NOT MERGE!! The term "dark star" is used to differentiate between basic old-fashioned Newtonian theory's predictions for objects with a lightspeed escape velocity and GR's black holes, which have the same critical radius but some important differences.  

 If QM-based ideas like gravastars and dark energy stars are now beginning to proliferate, perhaps it's time to start thinking about a reorganisation: perhaps three main crosslinked pages: (1) NM's "dark stars", (2) GR's "black holes" and (3) QM's modified "radiating black hole" predictions. Then perhaps it might be natural to crosslink "gravastar" and "dark-energy star" pages to that new "QM black hole" page. It's a shame that there doesn't yet seem to be an accepted generic name for a "QM-modified black hole".
