@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.

Sandboxes

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]
