I think each Battleworld Domain should have their own separate page, and have a identifier for disambiguation. I think we should use (Battle Zone) as an identifier. For example the Civil War Battle Zone could be made distinct from Civil War the Event by being identified as Civil War (Battle Zone), or Planet Hulk (Battle Zone) to disambiguate it from the Planet Hulk event (which should be renamed Planet Hulk (Event) )

As for how to define all the alternate reality characters. I think the general assumption is that so long as their appearance in Secret Wars does not disrupt a pre-established continuity of an existing character we can assume it's that version. For example, I briefly spied a version of the Punisher who is Sorcerer Supreme in the first issue. I haven't read it, but I think it's safe to assume it's the Punisher of Earth-9140, since the character hasn't been seen since 1991 and the character wasn't killed off.

Whereas any Age of Apocalypse character that was killed off on Earth-295 appearing in Secret Wars... I guess we'll have to see how they explain it. I could see it going three ways. They could be from one of the many alternate versions of the Age of Apocalypse (Possible Earth-9601 which is nearly identical to the AOA prior to the revival of the series in the 2000s), the AOA characters here may be from Earth-295 as well -- perhaps plucked from a different point in time, which has happened before (Blink and Sabretooth are excellent examples of this), or from an entirely different universe all together. It's speculative at this point, so we should wait and see.
