There are some key points you're overlooking. I'd like to imagine that you're capable enough to understand that both characters are different and have different first appearances, even when "other sources" treat the character as one. That's the reason why this Database exists. To provide the complex answer that is often overlooked. I hope you understand this and that not every problem has to have the answer you want. But perhaps, that's asking too much.
 * 1) Wikipedia is not the ultimate source for information. While most of their info is often cited, when it comes to pop culture, it is pretty lacking. Especially considering that you just edited their Wally West page (in a poor way tbh) and didn't include any source or reference. So we don't take that as accurate info.
 * 2) Most of "outside" sources don't differentiate between in-universe characters, so they often only list the first time a character appeared after the New 52 Reboot, even if it doesn't belong to the main continuity.
 * 3) As we do differentiate between versions, it is wrong to include such info in the character's infobox. A note, such as the one you propose, wouldn't improve the value of the article, nor would it make any harm. Thus, the best place to include an explanatory sentence would be the disambiguation page.
