To segregate the lore by version number will open a can of worms that will be dumped on us every time there is an expansion. By separating 1.0 from 2.0, do we follow suit in a few months when we hit 3.0? Just throw it out all together. We are only playing 2.0 now because we are, we will be in 3.0 before you know it, and 4.0 in a little over a year.
I think the problem with 1.0 lore is it is hard to come by and in many cases is second hand from players who were in 1.0. That does not invalidate the data, on the contrary, lore from 1.0 could enhance a wiki. I know one of the mods on the SE lore board in passing. Let me get with him and the others and see if they would mind compiling the lore from 1.0. That way we can have a central official source.
I don't think the jump from 2.0 to 3.0 will be the same magnitude of change to the existing basis of the world, especially considering a lot of changes were made between 1.0 and 1.1 [just look at Thaumaturges going from Astral/Umbral spell casters to elemental] where as 2.0 all though its major patches have added instead of over written.
I support a method of "If you'd like to know what this was like in 1.0 click here" or a 1.0 tab on the page of each wiki entry that has 1.0 data to include*, just in an effort to make people who don't want to know the particulars of how shitty it was to have to grind infernal tapers from having a page cluttered by it. [The tab system is quite handy, Ciel Wulfes wiki page uses it to great effect.]
