Not the nominator but this is a pretty common trope/topic for exploration in Tolkien fandom. These are immortal characters and "XXX in history" is regularly used as a shorthand/tag for exploration of that character or group's deeds or adventures at any point in history - Middle-earth history or our own (they're the same world, per Tolkien; LOTR, Silm etc. are fictional "lost histories"). I highly doubt it's about the relations between the two groups, it's more likely it's intended to present creators with options. I'd leave as is, or change to "Elves and/or Ainur in History" - or even separate into "Elves in History" and "Ainur in History." Tolkien fans will know what it means.
Don't know on the other Middle-earth tag, though. I imagine it is to do with the books, not the video game, as it's similar wording to a chapter title from Fellowship. Looking at the nominated characters, my best guess is that it's something to do with the way history continues to echo and impact through the Ages - but that is a guess.
Some potential duplicates, too, for when you get to these (both from The Silmarillion tag set):
WB: Maglor through the ages (Silmarillion - Tolkien) WB: Maglor's Wanderings Post-First Age (Silm)
WB: Calendar Systems (Silm) WB: Calendar systems (Silmarillion)
