Because it was referenced as the Prime Earth at the conclusion of Secret Wars, I wish Marvel would be consistent and drop the 616 name since that refers to the previous pre-SW universe.

They did have an entire page dedicated to the gravestone of "616." It was made very clear that 616 was over. It doesn't make sense to keep calling it that. Yet, there they go anyway. It makes more sense for pages to be labelled like "Spider-man (Prime)" rather than "Spider-man (616)" but I guess that ship has sailed thanks to Web Warriors and Spider-Gwen, and 616 will continue to be used. How unfortunate.
