We could call it Earth-200000 or whatever you want (I don't know how exactly all those universes get their designation numbers) but those stories are not part of the MCU. The numbers are generally assigned within handbooks. If a number has not yet been officially assigned then the marvel wiki uses a TRN (Temporary Reality Number), for example Earth-TRN001, Earth-TRN002, etc.

Hope this explanation helps. As for these stories, yeah, sounds like it contradicts the established canon. Yes, but we also have a few of the video games and the comics contradicting canon, don't we? Like the Iron Man game that features Whitney Frost and the tie-in comic that mentions her, despite her being alive about a century before those events would take place.

I'm not saying we should all take it as 100% canon to the MCU, but they should get their own pages, just like the other non-canon things.
