I think it's somewhat redundant in that if someone wants to know which version it is they can click on the link. With all of the other things that can be added to a character appearance like, chronology arrows etc. it really makes character appearances stack weird, it looks kind of ugly. If someone is viewing the site at a lower screen resolution it really crams in the info and it makes for a lot of unnecessary scrolling on mobile.

When I edit a character profile I only differentiate characters with names if they are more than one alternate reality version of the characters (But then I put a hyphen like Human Torch-616 and Human Torch-928 for example, like the Handbooks) or if there are two characters from the same reality with the same name I add their last names in parentheses only (for example Human Torch (Storm) and Human Torch (Hammond) )

It streamlines things. It also requires less editing to the base text should the real name of a character change for whatever reason.
