True, but then, why not doing it for all the red links where such a policy can apply ? For example, with all the Earths pre-Crisis had, there are several Batman versions which are pageless. For visual representation, the reader can't count on the red links and has to go the disambiguation and hope an image was uploaded. (granted here Batman's design is well-known, but it's not the case for all characters) Of course the text wouldn't fit, but if it's just "temporary", the weight of the visual representation could be toyed with. Or maybe there could be some header on the character page to indicate the page is "splittable" (specifying which Earths to split it into maybe) or something to lift some confusion. Or it could just redirect to the disambiguation page. That too could serve as an indicator that for that specific era, that version of the character doesn't have a character page yet. And the reader can have various visual representations of them. Only obvious if the link is clicked on, sure, but still less obscure than just a page with several Universes you don't really know whether they're expected to get split at some point or not.
