Hello and welcome to the Alternate History Wiki!

We are a community for creating fictional alternative histories. We hope you will feel at home here and wish you good luck contributing to our ever-growing collection of timelines.

Please start by reading our Guide to Newcomers. It contains links to the important sections of the wiki.
If you're new to wikis in general, see How to Make Articles.
If you're ready to create an article, see Conventions in Use in this Wiki. It explains how to title and categorize your pages, what kinds of content are allowed, and other rules of the site.

Some other helpful reference pages:

General introduction to Alternate History: What is Alternative History?
A glossary of our particular jargon: Alternative History:Terminology.
Lists of our content: List of Althists, Points of Divergence, and Ideas.

Some general tips:

This wiki is for alternate history, not future timelines. What you write should take place before 2021.
All articles on this wiki take the following format: Name of article (Name of Timeline). This helps us know which pages belong together.
To sign your posts on talk pages, use ~~~~ (four tildes). This will insert your name and timestamp.
You can experiment in the Sandbox.

Global Pacification

Excuse me sir, but your actions as Japan on Global Pacification are invalid due to meta-gaming and posting more than 5 actions a week. Unless you correct both of these issues, then the next time you meta-game you can be removed from the game. Thank you in advance for sorting this out, Arkius Doomer (talk) 19:34, October 6, 2015 (UTC)

Japan's standing military in 1941 counted only 51 divisions, making 510,000 troops. Currently you can't and don't have two million forces, or one million, for that matter. Nicktc 18:43, October 9, 2015 (UTC)

I have in fact compared the edits before undoing your action, and you removed the categories. Nicktc 01:11, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

Can I just be map creator? I've done it multiple times before on other games and I'm good at it. Revolution 9 (talk) 21:37, October 25, 2015 (UTC)

Uh, this time it is not about the categories, you are an hour early. Nicktc 14:43, October 26, 2015 (UTC)

I am sure you understand that if I do that, others will do the same and then there is no point to the date system. I would not do it if I would not have to. You can copy the contents of your message however from the History. Nicktc 15:04, October 26, 2015 (UTC)

Imperial wars

Sorry, my week has been very busy. I'll try to get the map done within 2-3 days. Revolution 9 (talk) 01:47, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

it's pretty simple go to the IW talk page look at the algo and then follow it. you need to find out both yours and frances total points based on the things which give you points Person67 (talk) 19:38, November 7, 2015 (UTC)

Question

I have one question, is there a map to go with the game so I have a idea of what is out there or what the world looks like Thnaks - JayJayKingNo.1 (talk) 00:36, November 7, 2015 (UTC)

So sorry I haven't done map. I'm very busy so I've decided to not be mapmaker anymore. Again sorry but I'm justso busy that I can't do this stuff right now. If you could remove my name then that'd be great. Thanks! Revolution 9 (talk) 21:59, November 11, 2015 (UTC)

Duplications

Greetings. Recently, you have uploaded 15 files on this site that are duplications of others. Please keep in mind that many of the files found across Wikimedia have also been uploaded to this site — all under the same names and types. These files can easily be found by searching for the file's name in the search bar. If you are using the "visual" mode for editing and uploading, please be advised that you will be required to use underscores (_) instead of spaces when searching for a file (e.g., "Flag_of_Canada.svg" and not "Flag of Canada.svg"). In the event that the file you require is not already uploaded to this site, it would be very appreciated that you upload the standard file used on Wikimedia as a courtesy to current and future users.

The following uploads have have been removed from this site, and have been replaced with the following correct files:

Please try not to let this happen again. Do not re-upload these files or remove this message from your talk page. Be advised that while this message is simply a warning, continuing to upload duplications will result in the temporary suspension of your account. Thank you for your cooperation. -- NuclearVacuum 03:52, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

I'm also letting you know that many of the files you duplicated were of the exact same file. Why didn't you just use the first one? I will also not be fixing any of your articles (I will leave that for you to do). I've suspended your account for two hours so I can cleanup you mess. Do not let this happen again. -- NuclearVacuum

Second Duplications

You have now uploaded three more duplications onto this site. Three, I might add, of the same files I already told you not to re-upload.

Be advised that a third duplication will now result in the suspension of your account for one week. Please don't let this happen again. -- NuclearVacuum 18:52, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

Can you please explain to me exactly what you are doing? I will need to know in order to help you out. Otherwise, please read the first message I sent you (as it explains how to search and use said files). -- NuclearVacuum

19:17, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

I'm well aware you are trying to use these flags. What I asked is for the steps you are exactly taking in order to use them on your articles.

If you are referring to the templates used on Wikipedia, they do not exist here. You have to manually set the flag dimensions when using them in your articles. An example would be:

[[File:Flag of German Reich (1935–1945).svg|23px]]

Inserting this into the article will give you this:

Does this help? -- NuclearVacuum

19:25, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

You have to use the sidebar tool if you're using the visual editor. Then you have to write out the file name (not the code I gave you) and you have to use underscores. I explained this in my first message to you. -- NuclearVacuum 20:18, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

On the sidebar (to the right of the screen) will be a feature that says "photo." Within this feature will be a a "search" option. Search the EXACT name of the file you wish to use (you can find the names on Wikipedia). When searching the name, you NEED to use underscores (_) instead of spaces (e.g., Flag_of_Canada.svg). The rest should be simple to understand.

Do I really need to instruct you how to upload files? Why can't you look up "how to" tutorials on Wikia itself? I also gave you detailed instructions on the very first message I sent you (which I have now had to remind you multiple times). -- NuclearVacuum

The Global War Resurrected Map Game

This is a notification to tell you that the game will start at midnight of Sunday-Monday UTC (November 22-23). I hope you have fun in the game, and remember to post.

The Imperial Wars II

Has started. Please remember to have fun and to contribute.

Please can you post in Imperial Wars II since you know how annoying it is when people don't post otherwise I will just control France by mod event since it is quite essential. Person67 (talk) 21:36, November 22, 2015 (UTC)

Third Duplication

Congratulations! You have now uploaded 11 more duplications onto this site (including a few you were previously warned about).

As promised, your account will now be suspended for two weeks. If this continues following this period, it will be an automatic month. -- NuclearVacuum 17:19, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

95 Theses

Hello, Duchy of Milan here. We would like to privately express that as your ally we would support any action you may take against Switzerland, irregardless of our non-agression pact with them. Tomw1864 (talk) 19:07, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

Can we have an alliance? Bohemia and Brandenburg are plotting against me, so I feel it a good idea for you and me to stop them from getting any stronger. KingSparta300 (talk) 14:26, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

Hey, an enemy of mine wants to be your ally. Turn it down please? KingSparta300 (talk) 20:57, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

Why is the player of Vencie telling me that Austria hates Spain. Your playing as the brother of charles of Spain. What is going on here. - Scarlet Outlaw

Since you played only 4 turns out of 13 since the game started i asked the mods if i could take this country, due to you being inactive most of the turns and they answered me possitively, see at sign up in Austria. http://prnt.sc/a8pol2 http://prnt.sc/a8pqzn http://prnt.sc/a8r6ng

Wrto12 (talk) 10:41, February 28, 2016 (UTC)

However i have no problem with changing my nation if mods say otherwise/ change their mind, its just that you are too inactive to have a nation so important like Austria and you are actually letting your country collapse... Wrto12 (talk) 11:00, February 28, 2016 (UTC)

You are good to go as the United States, but consider yourself on probation (not in a negative way!), meaning the first plausibility strike will have you removed from the US. Thank you for your interest and enjoy Emancipation.

Terms for your surrender

Terms are you give Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, Missouri, Arizona, New Mexico, District of Columbia, South California, Delaware to the CSA, and some territories to the UK (i can't remember what they asked for, some states around the great lakes), recognize the CSA as an independent nation and you help the CSA against Mexico. Wrto12 (talk) 17:56, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

Southern Independence

Hello, TheGreatHistorian. After a recent country revision in Southern Independence, I regret to inform that you are no longer eligible to play as Austria-Hungary. Please choose another nation that you can play as. My apologies, and good luck.
