The original story of Slenderman was just a story written by Victor Surge and the SomethingAwful Paranormal Thread between 2009 and 2010. The Marble Hornets were the first series to conceptualize the idea of the Slenderman we all know today. They basically create their own version of Slenderman and expand it in their own way.
Most of the following ARGs were actually inspired by Marble Hornets instead of the original story, and as their story goes on, they turn Slenderman into a rather different being to fit the plot.
In TribeTwelve, it was a higher being that controlled the world through mortal puppets. In EverymanHYBRID, Slenderman only appeared for the first arcs, and his role became less relevant and the story eventually switched to something else. In DarkHarvest00, it was an eldritch creature worshiped by a cult.
One thing to be noted is that most of these works above don't refer to the entity as Slenderman (except for EverymanHYBRID): The Administrator, The Operator, Gorr 'Rylaehotep, etc. It's a way that the producer is trying to make their character as distinct from Slenderman as possible.
Now, the problem here is how the Slender Mythos page is indexed on the wiki. It's basically a composite page that covers every appearance of Slenderman ever, which is a fault because most of them aren't canon to each other or anything. I do remember that EverymanHYBRID and TribeTwelve once had a crossover, but none to other stories/games on the main page.
I cannot say much about The Creepypasta Collection, but I don't think grouping it with any of the works above is fair because they are each their own story and should have their own separate page.
