@ Robert McClenon: Do you remember, sometime in the last year, an MfD in which someone explained that there is a forum/website which lists Wikipedia as a possible home for alternative histories/elections/whatnot? I'm having trouble finding it... — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:16, 4 June 2021 (UTC) reply

User:Rhododendrites - No, I don't remember that. I didn't write the essay in response to any website, but only in response to the periodic alternate histories in sandboxes at MFD. There is a WikiProject on alternate history, but that is about alternate history fiction that satisfies book notability. I don't remember that either.

I really don't see the issue in people doing what they please in their own sandboxes, as long as it isn't showing objectionable content and infringing copyright. I mean, the sandbox is a place for experimentation with Wikipedia editing, after all. The only place where properly labeled Alternate History really shouldn't be is the side of Wikipedia people go to for information Theofficialrosaluxemburg ( talk) 17:43, 23 August 2021 (UTC) reply
