Conspiracy theories
We don't have a specific policy on conspiracy theory as such. It depends on what you're trying to do with it, and probably also on what theory you're using. What is Althistory explains that secret histories are not alternate history; so spelling out a conspiracy to explain OTL events is not for this wiki. Now if you're putting a conspiracy to use in another way, like using it as a point of divergence to change history, that could be OK.
But it also depends on which theory you have in mind. A lot of conspiracy theory has a basis in racist narratives, which would violate the Community Guidelines that we're bound by. If you made a TL that explained how the Holocaust never happened or something like that, that would definitely not be allowed.
The main thing to remember that our wiki is for exploring changes to history, making interesting stories, and creating interesting settings; its purpose is not sharing our own fringe theories. So it depends on what you're planning to do. What do you have in mind? Benkarnell (talk) 16:08, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
- This is for your Timeline (My World) page? That seems like adding a "secret history" element to it, since it has nothing to do with any of the other events on it. Why not explore the consequences of the changes to history that you already made? Benkarnell (talk) 12:54, May 26, 2020 (UTC)
