Basically, it comes down to two choices

Option 1: Continue the way the wiki is already structured by treating New Earth and Prime Earth as different realities. I agree with Dallinturner that this would be the much easier choice. It could just be agreed that the 10 missing years were taken from the Prime Earth characters with no connection to New Earth. Really all that would have to be done is to create Prime Earth profiles for characters like Wally West, Jean Loring, and Johnny Thunder.

Option 2: The vastly more difficult option, merge Prime Earth pages with New Earth pages. At this point, this seems to be the way DC would like readers to interpret the developments from Rebirth. Its hard to interpret the following passage from Rebirth in any other way:

"But someone outside of time watched it all happen...as our timelines reformed, someone stole ten years from us. A decade was removed like a Jenga piece...it changed everything. Heroes that were legends became novices. Bonds between them were weakened and erased. Legacies were destroyed."

This to me is Wally West talking about seeing his home reality reformed and if Barry Allen remembered him, he would have to be Bartholomew Allen (New Earth). That said, I have no idea how you account for things like Ted Kord and Jean Loring being alive, Hank Henshaw not being the Cyborg Superman or any of the other drastic changes that were made post-Flashpoint.

Fittingly, I think we're going to get the answer in the new Superman comics. However DC handles the difference between New Earth Superman and Prime Earth Superman should probably set the direction of the wiki.
