What I usually do is when there are two characters existing in one particular scenario (so when Earth-616 characters are "merged" with alternate reality counterparts, the Queens Vengeance and House of M are great examples of this) or if they share an existence with someone (So Thor when he existed with Eric Masterson, or Donald Blake, Hobgoblin with Demogoblin, when the Invisible Woman is possessed by Malice, whenever the Marauder's Malice possesses a member of the X-Men, whenever someone is powered by Captain Universe etc.) I usually do a code like this:

Modifying what appears in the {{g| to fit whatever the relationship is.

So for the above scenario, I'd do this:

{{apn|Hawkeye-398 (Clint Barton)|Comic #1|Comic #2}} {{g|Shared Existence with {{apn|Hawkeye-616 (Clint Barton)|Comic #1|Comic #2}}}}

Because in this scenario, the Earth-398 reality overlayed Earth-616 for a period of time, merging all the relevant characters together. When the reality warp ended, Earth-398 continues on its own, and only key people on Earth-616 remember what happened. Same thing with the House of M (I would posit that the "merger" applies to the stories where the House of M characters are aware of their Earth-616 counterparts.

I think that way it is easier to track the continuity of both versions of the character.
