That would be the most logical thing, but from what we've seen on the wiki until this point, if a character wasn't mentioned by name we can't assume it's name. So for example if Dig wasn't called "Diggle" just "John", than that's his name and we can't assume his name is "John Diggle" without proof. What I meant by adding the entire history is that if we already assume his name, we can now assume that he has the same history as the Earth-1 version and just add that. But that's clearly not the case...
