Welcome to the Alternate History Wiki. This Wiki was initially an outgrowth of the creative energies exhibited on the Yahoo! Conculture group, which itself is an outgrowth of the Brown University Conlang mailing list. Any and all alternate histories are permitted here. You are welcome to contribute any pages you wish, whether it be a minor sketch of an alternate history or an entire story that's fully-fleshed out.

This wiki was founded in January 2005.  It is hosted on the [[Wikia]] [[WikiFarm]].


The '''Alternate History Wiki'''
The Conlang and Conculture mailing lists also gave rise to [[FrathWiki]] and the [[Ill Bethisad wiki]].

Please make sure you understand the typical definition of Alternate History, found in the What is Alternate History page. While Future Histories are interesting, as is [[:Category:Science Fiction|Science Fiction]], these are not within the scope of our wiki.
 
Note that only those timelines which are created by the author should be posted and not those which are derivative work.
 
While at this time we are only exhibiting pages relating to our Alternate histories, we aren't ruling out the possibilities of discussion, or description pages to help would-be alt-historians get off to a good start.
