That was the intention of linking back to the previous iteration, to explicitly note how it's effectively a new take on the old character.

Disregarding "rules of the wiki", combining what are two separate characters into one page is illogical. For all intents and purposes these are new characters. We may have a better way to handle naming pages and such, but from the information given there's no denying they're brand new creations.

I know I'm often in the minority, but I couldn't care less about SEO. The traditional idea of a wiki is to chronicle information in an encyclopedic fashion, so combining pages just for ease of access is still lazy. The idea of a notice linking between the two versions of characters was made with this express purpose to reduce those sort of questions, as right as one visits the article the first thing at the top of the page they'll see is something directing them to an explicitly different, more accurately-detailed character. As an admin of a giant wiki like this, I promise you there'll always be multiple edits a date in which you need to inform a user of a misstep or mistaken edit, so that's nothing new.

Cut and dry, whoever you might refer to, they are two separate characters. The multiverse was destroyed, and then recreated with clearly major and minor differences. If it was recreated in its original image, I'd be inclined to just lean towards them being the same characters, but the very fact that three known Earths have seemingly merged is reason alone to question the singularity of any returning characters.
