It's messy, but that fits best with everything we have seen. No. No it isn't. What fits best is when the wishrealm was created it created it's own real history that affected another realm, why are people having such a hard time accepting that? Rule #1 of the Laws of Magic: Can't change the past.

Genies cannot change the past via a wish. Changing the past was not possible until Zelena's time travel spell. When was that mentioned as rule #1 of the laws of magic? It isn't mentioned as rule #1. Esk just means this has been a long standing rule. The genies mentioned it (Sidney, Cyrus, etc.), Rumple mentions it to Zelena, I think someone else mentions it as some other point as well. Point is, you can't change the past is a pretty solid rule established.
