i am working on a couple of choose your own adventures, two of them i am in the process of converting from the bbc website, you may add to them as you please, and please help out with the frommating.
you can make them as complex as you want, i will try and add video and pictures to enhance it. you may do so as well. this way we can see all the possible options for AH in certian battles.
(this post is doubled in both the pre. 1900's and wiki news forum)

You need to use proper name spacing.
You pages should be [[offtopic:something]]
not [[something]]
To make a new page, first make a link to it (the new page) on an existing page.

Ooh, so that's what your recent contributions were...
My apologies then - I thought you were just spamming the wiki and reported you.
I like the idea, but as Jasen says; correct formatting, et al.

Should this stuff really go in offtopic, though?

Where else would it go? I wouldn't want to use a new namespace for something that has no prior history on the wiki and may not produce much content.

Timelines section, maybe? Or alternate_history? Offtopic seems a bit too much like a catchall to me.

Oh--be sure to put them in a namespace, and not independently. And I think there's a typo in one of the names.

You're right. Alternate history seems reasonable. Although now that I think about it, stories seems like a good place.
