But what about its contents? Can they be moved to WMG or someplace else?.

WMG are fan speculation about a work. These are lists of objective deviations from canon.

The redirects only apply to the single change that causes all the other changes, so they don't apply. Any other tropes that might fit.

I think they would be added to the Alternate Universe Fic entry as deviations from canon.

Yeah, and I also saw that we were talking about a You Tube series so my main fear (that we would lose what sounded like a nice, funny fanfic) was unfounded because it does exist, so nothing is actually lost.

So create Alternate Universe Fic pages for them as they have so many examples they need their own page?

Every Alternate Universe Fic entry I've seen is a single entry listing the general changes, so these which are lists of changes still seem misuse.

Bump.

Should I just cut the pages? If not where to move them? (I'll cut the pages unless I hear anything.)

^That's a redirect to Butterfly of Doom which is when the changes are negative. It also requires explaining how they were the result of the one change which they don't.

Any objections to cutting yet?

Update. Found Adaptation Deviation which has work pages.

My question is if the works change too much to be considered adaptations. Thoughts?

Bump. Cut or move to Adaptation Deviation?

I intend to cut as they change so much they're different stories in the same 'verse as opposed to adaptations. Any objections?

I'd cut them, I don't think the "massive list of every canon divergence" is particularly tropeworthy

I agree. And most are zero-context examples for failing to include comparison to canon events.
