Or that they are allowed, if we decide on that, though I doubt that. I think this should be put to community vote. And we also need to iron out loopholes like the alternate universe template.

Anyways, the alternate universe template is not for minor changes to a story line such as bringing back a dead character. It is for major deviations from canon that are not part of an established AU like Necros or Against All Odds. The Alternate Universe template is meant for things like Halo: RED FLAG, not as a get out of jail free card for whatever stupid pointless crap users want to pull.
