I'm confused. I've heard Trever Henderson Mythos was removed due to "quality" issues. Were these quality issues because of how the pages/profiles were on VSBW, or were the quality issues on the side of how the story itself is told? If it's the latter, I don't see why it even came back.
The issue was in the profiles.
 
Alt Battles Wiki was specifically created to host verses that the main VS Battles Wiki rejected or removed, while still using largely the same powerscaling framework. That makes it a natural home for Trevor Henderson's verse if it no longer qualifies for the main wiki.
It qualifies for the main wiki, so this doesn't really matter.
Trevor Henderson's lore is intentionally fragmented. Much of the setting is told through artwork, captions, comments, and scattered statements rather than a single continuous narrative. Alt Battles is generally more willing to evaluate this kind of unconventional storytelling if the evidence is well documented.
Not really. In my experience, they don't see the two too differently, and this doesn't disqualify the verse from VSBW
The monsters receive new information over time. Trevor occasionally expands their lore through new posts or creator statements, making the verse evolve. An alternative wiki can be more flexible about documenting these additions as long as they're properly sourced.
We can just make a quick CRT and add them. Also, Trevor doesn't add too much info, so additions are rare.
The community is more open to controversial or disputed verses. Alt Battles' mission is to archive verses whose exclusion from the main wiki is considered reasonably debatable, rather than automatically rejecting them.
Same thing I said for the first point. Sure, THM is controversial, but it doesn't really matter because it fits VSBW.
It allows the verse to continue receiving revisions. Fans can still make calculation revisions, add scans, and discuss scaling through Content Revision Threads even after the verse is gone from the main wiki.
That's only if it goes for Alt Battles wiki. Not really a reason for it to be on Alt Battles wiki.
Trevor Henderson's monsters are popular in versus debating. Despite the lack of a traditional story, characters like Siren Head and Cartoon Cat are frequently used in battle discussions, so maintaining profiles on an alternative wiki is valuable for that community.
Same thing as the last reason
 
This doesn't look like it's being accepted anytime soon and looks like it's mainly reusing previously rejected arguments; not to mention AI isn't exactly trust worthy generally speaking. So I am going to go ahead and close this.
