Divine Soraka is not a canon representation of her before her fall - particularly since it was created before her lore was reworked, and in her reworked lore she was never human. In her previous lore she was human and became a goat as punishment for her actions - this doesn't happen any more. And I have literally no idea where you're getting the idea that Arclight is part of the story - no lore was released surrounding it. It represents an alternate fantasy for Varus where he's angelic instead of demonic - but his lore give no indication this was true. Sure it's a "human skin", but that doesn't mean it represents him before.

And it really doesn't matter what other wikis do. I could give examples of wikis that heavily separate alternate fantasies (Once Upon A Time lists alternate versions on completely separate pages, e.g. Prince Charming and David Nolan). Skins are cosmetic. Every skin (nearly) has a lore about them - we shouldn't be presenting that in Background article as part of the lore. King Sombra's "shadow version" is part of the canon - during the canon there was a curse that created an alternate time line. It is a canon alternate version. Actual alternative versions are shown in the "Other Depictions" section somewhere down the page. Just look at virtually every super hero wiki - non-canon depictions are shown in a separate section (e.g. Marvel Cinematic Universe versions of characters are not canon to the Comic Books and are displayed in an "Other Appearances" section).
