Earth-616 is kind of an exception to that, not really out of policy, but out of habit. No one ever added it because, if a story wasn't set in a different reality, it seemed implied that it was in Earth-616

This is more or less why I suggested some months ago to create a new field between "Other Characters:" and "Locations:" which would be "Reality:", like

Featured Characters: Supporting Characters: Villains: Other Characters: Reality: Locations: Items:
 * Iron Man (Tony Stark)
 * S.H.I.E.L.D.
 * Maria Hill
 * Numerous unnamed agents
 * Zeke Stane
 * NYPD
 * Unnamed officers
 * Earth-616
 * New York City
 * Manhattan
 * Avengers Tower
 * Iron Man Armor Model 40
