For any section where we cannot identify a reality designation (Like Doomstad or K'un-Lun) it should have the reality index for Battleworld itself. Same thing with any character that cannot be assigned to any one section of Battleworld.

As for the Ultimate End: All characters who were there for the entire event should be designated Earth-61610 (I think the only exception is Old Man Logan.. if I recall correctly) Yes the characters are based off their Earth-616 and Earth-1610 counterparts, but I'd look at this in much the same way one would differentiate between Pre-Crisis and Post-Crisis DC Characters. The Post-Crisis characters exist together in a singular reality instead of two (in this case) but retain memories from the prior unmerged reality. However a lot of these characters exist contrary to what happened in Time Runs Out and during the Secret Wars event (Tony Stark-616, Peter Parker-616, Cyclops-616, Captain America-1610 etc. etc.)

How this all plays into pre-and-post Secret Wars I posit this: All Ultimate characters who have not appeared on Earth-616 AFTER Secret Wars should be presumed dead until otherwise stated. All the characters who appear in Ultimate End are designated Earth-61610, their profiles contain a blurb about how their past lives mirror their Earth-616/1610 counterparts (etc) and they all cease to exist following the end of Secret Wars when Reed Richards begins restoring the multiverse. In the event where a character that is active in All-New All-Different retains some memories of what happened in Ultimate End... Well I'll get into that in a more grand scheme of things in a second.

For the realities that are Reality-#### or alternate... we should classify it under the reality designation listed. There are only three. 1602, House of M, and X-Men '92. Which from what I know about those realities adding the Secret Wars stuff to the profiles of those characters would not be very disruptive. If Marvel decides to change their mind and decide that these events belong to characters in a similar reality it's easy to excise that information and place it in a new profile since most of this stuff is just going to be added to the end of a profile for these characters.

For the X-Men '92 characters... There's some additional concerns here... Because there are the events that from the X-Men Cartoon, but also there is Adventures of the X-Men which was a comic book series that told original stories about the 90's cartoon X-Men (for years Marvel did adaptations of episodes in comic books, but decided to do original stories) At the end of that series it was stated that the X-Men '92 reality was destroyed to make way for Earth-616 (or some such thing) I think we can safely assume that it was a "Age of Apocalypse" scenario where the reality was destroyed (end of Adventures of the X-Men) and then recreated (Secret Wars) and now exists again (X-Men '92 Vol 2), so adding cartoon info, Adventures of the X-Men, and whatever happened/happens in X-Men '92 has some proper flow.

Noooooow... Onto the big question: What do we do about characters who remember events from Secret Wars that can be ascribed to a character that comes from a domain that has a reality designation? I would say that we do the same thing with any shared memory between characters across realities (The original run of House of M is a perfect example of this happening) Much like where we have a House of M version of Wolverine and list of Wolverine-616 has memories of the House of M reality.. We do both: A profile for the character specifically in that reality index, and also mention how the Earth-616 (or 1610 or whatever) version of the character lived the life of their Earth-#### Counterpart during Secret Wars.

The reason for differentiating is, naturally, the possibility that Marvel might revisit these realities later (like they have done with the House of M in the past)
