This really should be done because what Disney has done was create their own canon that is separate from what Lucasfilm has done up until 2014. This is simply because what we consider "Legends" once included G-canon, which in short is George Lucas' own authority. While it is arguable how much of Lucasfilm's EU George Lucas was involved in, what isn't arguable is G-canon.
When Disney bought Lucasfilm, all they did was change the highest authority of Lucasfilm from George Lucas to Disney itself. Unfortunately though, no matter what Disney does call everything before the aquisition, it does not invalidate the authority George Lucas himself had over Star Wars before the aquisition. So really, it doesn't make sense to call everything before the aquisition "Legends" because it ends up invalidating the point of G-canon, meaning that George Lucas wasn't a reliable authority on Star Wars or did have the last word on it after all.
So really, the pages should be renamed to "Disney" and "Lucasfilm" because those were the companies incharge of Star Wars at that point and along with primarily creating the canon of their verse.
Also It wasn't George Lucas who made that separation after all, it was Disney. This isn’t like Detective Comics having their crisis events that essentially reboot their universe(s), it’s complete turnover on everything related to Star Wars. With the crisis events DC was still in charge had authority over the stories and characters in between each of them, however this isn’t the case with the acquisition because after Disney bought Lucasfilm, Lucasfilm, along with George Lucas, lost their authority over the characters and stories, this became especially evident when everything pre-2014 was decanonized.
Also, characters like Godzilla for example have media produced and published by different companies and they each have their own canon separated from one another, what exactly is the problem with giving Star Wars the same treatment?
