Since the New 52 initiated a new timeline and, by extension, a new continuity, we have had to "split" characters who have long, storied histories between the previous mainstream continuity on New Earth (aka Earth-0) and the current New 52 universe that we call Prime Earth. Initially, we resisted this, but it soon became clear that, in a lot of cases, it was necessary to create Prime Earth pages for characters appearing in the New 52.

abstract	Since the New 52 initiated a new timeline and, by extension, a new continuity, we have had to "split" characters who have long, storied histories between the previous mainstream continuity on New Earth (aka Earth-0) and the current New 52 universe that we call Prime Earth. Initially, we resisted this, but it soon became clear that, in a lot of cases, it was necessary to create Prime Earth pages for characters appearing in the New 52. However, certain characters and corners of the DCU were essentially unchanged by the New 52. Most prominently, the Green Lantern characters, and most of the Batman Family (with some exceptions). As the New 52's history unfolds, it becomes clearer how we ought to deal with these pages, but the challenge of what to do with the characters whose histories remain essentially unchanged is hotly debated. So, up until this point, the Administrators have largely been dictating how all of this stuff is handled based on the results of those hot - but entirely unsexy - debates (we're pretty dictate-y in general). But, we're opening up the floor for you to discuss some of this stuff with us, and get involved in the process of untangling this mess.
