Static Shock is not Dakotaverse, it's DCAU. Static was part of the Dakotaverse, which was a generally acceptable fan designation from before the wiki existed. We don't call it Static Shock Universe because a) his name is not Static Shock and b) what about Icon, Hardware, the Blood Syndicate and all the others? If we made it today, it would be called (Milestone Universe).

The -Verse designations are from the early days and should not be used for new universes. There just hasn't been any good other names suggested. In the case of Donner, Nolan and Burton it's not that bad as those films are generally connected to them (even though Burton didn't do the last two of his verse). But the Flarrowverse is just as much Guggenheim as it is Berlanti.

We made the Arrow pages when it was just Arrow, before Flash entered the scene. We considered renaming it "Arrowverse", but moving all of the pages to a new designation that still didn't acknowledge the Flash, LoT and others just wasn't worth the hassle.

There are plenty of universe designation relics out there. Apart from the -Verse ones, there's Earth-ABC and LSHAU, to name some survivors. We'd call that (ABC Universe) and (Legion of Super-Heroes TV Series) today, but they're not a high priority for renaming.
