To be honest, I don't understand that the argument that a rebooted continuity is different from a separate continuity that shares some elements. Although I appreciate that some characters remain fairly similar, other characters have completely different histories in the two timelines. In at least one case (Muttski), the character's name and species is different. Why not just separate them?

The thing you're suggesting will make the main page look cool, but it will create other pages that aren't intended to be looked at. A lot of other pages. And they're still in the mainspace, so they'll show up on 'Random page' clicks and wherever.

How about having two separate pages, identified by parentheses (as SeanWheeler suggests), but transcluding relevant sections from the pre-Genesis Wave page onto the post-Genesis Wave in a collapsible box? The most recent pages should get the 'Archie' tag, and the older pages the 'pre-Genesis Wave' tag. Would that work? I have stated my reasons in beginning for this layout: "Splitting the article into two would not work either as there can be information that cannot be given to one version of the character and adding that to two articles would be repetitive and recreate inconsistency should only one be changed." Also, placing the information in a collapsible box will not change the headlines there are added to the articles automatic contents list, so when people try to use the Content list to access a Pre-Super Genesis Wave section when the box is set to Post-Super Genesis Wave, they will not automatically hop to it.
