:::See for instance the third footnote of ], which reads {{tq|Brave New Words: The Oxford Dictionary of Science Fiction (Oxford University Press, 2007) notes the preferred usage is "Alternate History", which was coined in 1954; "Alternative History" was first used in 1977, pp. 4–5.}} This directly contradicts the claim that British sources prefer "alternative". ] </span>]] 13:08, 3 January 2025 (UTC) |

::::Misplaced Pages has dealt with this terminology issue in the past. At ] there have been several flips over the years about what to call an extra album cover used in other countries and the like. Sometimes it was "Alternate cover" but it is currently "Alternative cover" (see ]). The earliest such discussion I can find was way back in 2009 at ], and note the dictionary definitions like those brought up by the requester here. So no matter how messy they may be, these requests have some precedents. All will be controversial, regardless. ---<span style="font-family: Calibri">]<small> (]|]) </small></span> 14:17, 3 January 2025 (UTC) |
