Origin 3 was mentioned in the Rebirth Titans Annual. Wasn't that AFTER Wonder Woman's New 52 backstory was already retconned?

Okay, so it sounds like most of the trouble is because the WW editorial doesn't have control over Donna despite the obvious fact she's connected to Wonder Woman. Why is that? Who's in charge of Donna?
Which is often the problem, Titans editorial seemingly makes no effort to work with WW editors to make anything work.
I would have assumed both the WW book and the Titans book are both under the JL editorial office. There isn't a WW editorial group like LordUltimus said.
The problem is that Abnett has been writing Donna based off the Finch's WW run version of the character since Titans Hunt, and his whole run with the character in Titans is built on that clay Amazon weapon origin. Rucka retconned it all away with Rebirth, but he didn't fix Donna's character and so Abnett has been just continuing with the Finch version despite it making no sense. Not only that he continues to build on it making it make less and less sense. It is a complete mess. Like it is Abnett's biggest ongoing story point in Titans now because Donna is the only character that is still on the team from the start.
But Donna has always been much more of a Titans character than a WW character. So it isn't a surprise that the WW book doesn't care about her or her situation and just leaves the Titans to do their own thing with the character.

I thought Batman was her editors? I mean why would there still be a mess. I don't think there give her the right editors. The editors are suppose to make sure that the character and continuity is support to make sure it's somewhat smooth. Every time she gets a new writer they go back to square one. So far thankfully rebirth has not done that. The only thing is if the clay origin is back how is Zeus being her father suppose to be retconed? How is Jason suppose to be retcon?
So reading all that, I get the gist of the problem is - 1. Wonder Woman has editors, but not an office, which apparently she really needs and deserves. 2. Donna is under the Titans office, if there is one, or just under the control of the Titans editors. 3. The Titans team apparently doesn't collaborate, consult, acknowledge, or speak to any of the WW editors, which just seems kind of unprofessional to me that the teams don't work together for a more seamless universe. 4. The Wonder Woman editors and writers also share blame for not taking Donna into account whenever they do reboots, leaving the Titans team to either use previous origins for Donna or make something up. 5. Which is compounded by the fact that as the only long term Titan on the team right now, the current author keeps expanding on the status caused by the origin despite it no longer making since with current Wonder Woman canon (cannon? I always get those two confused). 6. Basically, in a nutshell, this could all be avoided if people actually communicate with each other more often.
Did I get that right?
