Late, but yeah I think that would be best. The old Superman entry on the Supergirl pages can be restored, while the new stuff from Lois can stay on their own page but with a note that it's a different universe.
Though would require cleaning up of Clark and Lois's entries to separate the pre- and post-Crisis stuff.

Do we really need the character pages to have links to Alternate Selves to those same characters (Superman, Supergirl, etc.)? It's unnecessary and comes off as a cheap way to connect to the DC Multiverse.

As far as I've seen, it's only to versions that have actually been shown to exist in the same Multiverse, not completely unrelated ones

Would it make sense to put all the Well's on their own page like you did with the Hawks.

So with the massive intake of characters for Crisis on Infinite Earths, how should we go about organizing the pages? I was thinking of having a section or page specifically for characters from different mediums then featuring links to their existing pages.
I think we should go back to the old method of organization. Although the Arrowverse is connected it's not as connected as the MCU. This seems needlessly complicated

I kind of agree with that. Though, if not, I get the feeling that soon we'll have a "Legion of Doom" folder for the four main antagonists from season 2 of Legends of Tomorrow: Eobard Thawne, Damien Darhk, Malcolm Merlyn, and Captain Cold.
I think this method is better. The Arrowverse is only going to get more interconnected from now on, not less.
This feels like it makes it unduly complicated to find one character's page, especially if you only follow one show (which is true for many viewers) - clicking on the "character" page for any involved show now takes you to this confusing monstrosity full of stuff you're barely aware of, and you have to go over the whole thing and click through it to add anything.
I'd suggest having a shared page for the few characters that are heavily shared between them, or to replace them with links to the pages of their "main" show - almost every character clearly has one main show they belong under anyway.
(Not really convinced they're going to get more interconnected, either. Only a few actors have contracts that would regularly put them in multiple shows; the others are just going to be occasional special guests. The appropriate place to put like 95% of the characters here is always going to be on one page for their show, with maybe a link to that page from other shows they appear in.)

I guess this isn't really a huge deal, but the pages for Star City Citizens and Mystics do not have colons in the name, making them stick out quite a bit. I'd like to rename them so they do have colons, but thought I should ask here first.
Should the current Superman and Lois-related tropes be put on their own page, since they kind of established it is a sepeate Earth?
And then have the Superman who showed up in Supergirl, etc. be a seperate entry?
