Welcome to the Life After People Fanon Wiki[]

The official documentary featured the gradual and post-apocalyptic disintegration of urban civilization in a time span of 10,000 years after humanity suddenly vanished.

  • It is the fanon wiki about Life After People
  • The reason why this was made is because people had been making fanons on this other official wiki site, which is to say, pages on that Wiki which never happened on Life After People. If you want to make something up based on that show and create a fanon related to the show's them please do it here, don't do it there! 
  • It is also an asylum for fanon works from the official wiki. So any well done fanon works on that wiki will be transferred to here
  • It can contain both real life type pages and pages about fictional places.
  • No actual TV show articles or stuff in this wiki! People might mistake the real show stuff for fanons that did not happened on the actual TV show

Wiki Rules[]

General editing rules[]

  1. Spamming will not be tolerated here. Pages that are nonsense are also not permitted. (i.e. jumbles of spam, nonsensical events, etc. simply put, not fit for a LIFE AFTER PEOPLE.)
  2. Don't add any new categories, we have too many (e.g. cities, categories describing general subject matter, etc.) and we are still trying to clean up the excess ones.
    1. For example, no city categories should be added (unless they are territorially independent states in their own right. Whther or not this status is universal is up for debate.) Hong Kong is one example. Given the current political tension in the USA (don't add abbreviations as well, such as UK), Washington DC might become a seperate state from Virginia and its surrounds. Keep that one up, as requested by the user Hoppingclams343.
      1. Pages about fictional structures simply need Fiction/Fictional Place added, but no further division is needed, especially for structures about fiction (like Disney-related structures. The category:Disney, even for objects and rides related to it, has been removed many times over previously.) They are also discouraged here, unelss live-action photos or structural elements can be displayed to showcase what exactly is being examined on the page (for example, a photo of an amusement park ride or statue about a fictional subject, or a live-action movie/episode screenshot from a show.)
        1. Individual statues or structures that form part of wider parks and display concerts are not notable enough to have a page, unless they are used by humans that can imagine well what it will look like after people. Merge them with a page about the amusement park instead, unless it is prominent enough to be recogniseable after people stop maintaining it.
  3. If you add a blank page you will have a week to add more content before it's deleted. If nothing happens afterwards, you will be blocked for a month for adding spam, as well as sockpuppet accounts.
  4. There's no excuse now for making a bad page, as there is now a template you can use. If you make a page that is not to wiki standards, you will be given two weeks to revise it. (It will eventually be deleted after that. For other users, if it is still there, either fix it up, or delete the page/notify admins. Blanking the page will treat it as spam.)
    1. Even if they are formatted correctly, bad pages often miss out on details. Don't add short events without explanation - that is not how Life After People explains its events, and the same applies for many other pages. Look at those for examples on how (not) to format your pages.
      1. As mentioned years in the past, humor pages are no longer allowed. (These often tease others' creations and collapse them, or are made to annoy users and readers. Simply making a page for laughs is not very good editing standards, especially discussing post-apocalyptic scenarios in vague detail/s.)

Structures and objects[]

  1. Don’t post irrelevant things (i.e. pages not about buildings and structures) to the wiki. This is about what we think would happen to buildings (and a few other artifacts) after people disappear, and nothing else.
    1. Among some of these 'irrelevant' contents are the animals inside structures. If they don't interact with any structures (most likely true for fake/wild animals), then they do not require a page on the wiki, as the LAP series focuses on the 'disintegration of urban civilization' after people. If a page is about a zoo, wildlife or safari park, it must cover the structures specifically, and not just generically repeat events (e.g. power grids failed, fences and structures collapsed, animals escaped and survived.). These pages often end in long redundant lists of animals or very short vague events, of an unacceptably low quality to be kept on the wiki. These pages are often deleted.
    2. For animals inside the structures (that escaped or somehow survived), they can have a mention within the structure they are in, but don't focus too much on them. The page should be about the structure itself. Once, they were split off, but most pages of this nature have been deleted since.
    3. No more pages on old cartoons' structures are to be created. This wiki already has enough fictional content (i.e. fake structures), and they are often low quality pages. The admins are currently working on what to delete.
      1. As well as that, no more small cartoon items are to be created with their own pages. This wiki covers structures and not objects. (They can be included in structures' pages, but not as their own seperate pages.)
      2. Don't create too many fictional structures. Life After People focused on the real world, and we want to keep that up. (Visionary/future structures are fine, but not completely fictional structures from cartoons/TV shows/movies. The wiki's administrators are currently working out what to delete.) Only pages created before the rule was induced are to be kept previously; anything new that cannot be proven in a/n LAP scenario will not be accepted.

Images[]

  1. Do not add pictures or photos of buildings in a life after people (i.e. abandoned/damaged photo manipulations) unless the photos in question are very well done. (I.E. Landmark Hotel and Casino, Spaceship Earth, etc. [essentially, don't do horrible photoshops/edits of random pictures of structures.])
  2. Do not add pictures that are irrelevant to the wiki. For example, pictures that do not cover anything dealt with in the series - for example, the series dealt mostly with buildings. So pictures of generic animals are not going to be very useful here, unless they actually show them in a post-apocalyptic wasteland (which has to be very clear in the background.) For an image that can't be hosted here (as a wiki file) according to the rules, link to it instead (reference or hyperlink works).
    1. Do not add pictures that are too small. They will be deleted on the basis of the reason (in these exact words, as seen by User:Wingman1 - 'Too small'. The alternative is to upload a larger copy of the image. [To avoid it, check for parameters in the URL of the image, and do not rename it unless it is for the sake of compatibility on the wiki (or the computer's naming system).]

Timelines/events[]

  1. There are many events the actual series covered, these are predictions that will (usually) happen (for example, 50 years segment/2060 earthquakes and fires, etc,) These predictions will not change, and these predictions have a page, so editors and page creators will be able to more accurately make a page that correlates with the events that happened in the show. (Other events/disasters referenced multiple times throughout, such as fires and earthquakes, can also affect the structures as well. Use these as you wish for the page, they will also have a seperate page.)
  2. Unrealistic events such as sudden overgrowth (unless it is something particularly invasive, such as buckthorn or ivy in CHicago) will be noticed and reverted or deleted, as a 'horribly made' timeline. For example, random gas explosions would not usually happen past 10 years/2020 (based off episode airing times), given leaks and previous explosions using up the remaining supply. (ideally, place catastrophic chain reactions early on, but they may/not affect existing timelines. They could be just one-off events)
  3. Don't ressurect hominids, let alone any human species. Life After People focuses on what would happen if every human disappeared, forever. (Hominids that are currently nonsentient, could evolve, but probably only after millions of years.
    1. Don't rebuild civilization with sentient alien/other species, as that will just reverse all the damage that neglect and disuse has done to the structures. (Unless they are abandoned again, don't abruptly stop a Life After People - it goes against the point of the original series. Exceptions can apply for entire universes (they will fall and remake themselves, if possible.), the next intelligent species that digs up human civilization, and a few others that only arrive when much of civilization is gone. For example, History's Doomsday series, Ancient Aliens, etc. However, don't take it too far unless the next intelligent species also disappears, and even then, that will need a seperate time line.)

Human disappearance[]

  1. Don’t use the Aftermath: Population Zero timeline (where everything stays in motion even with the disappearance of humans), for example, where planes fall out of the sky, (including their pilots) and mass car (and train) wrecks happen one second/minute after people (with no drivers. There is also an exact date of disappearance, 13/6/2008, likely. (This is Life After People, not Aftermath. When humans disappeared - first in 21/1/2008, then 21/4/2009 - all vehicles stop. space vehicles are excepted, as their existing momentum will eventually make them hit something (or fly away) with no air resistance, or drag will make them hit the ground.)
  2. Events such as 'Humans disappeared forever' or 'Power grids failed' were once permitted here, but no longer, as they have some semblance to humor pages, and are more relevant to AFTERMATH than LIFE AFTER PEOPLE.
    1. To discuss possible disappearances/extinctions, click this link. (Just don't place them within the timeline, as it only works for after humans' disappearance.)
    2. Don't do vaguely copied events such as 'All animals that escaped such as [list] survived and now thrive in the former [country].'
  3. Only do years in 5 year intervals. Any other years (excepting anything BEFORE 5yrs) look unusual. (There are exceptions, for example pinpointing exact times. See below.)
    1. Other values such as 25, the 100s (e.g. 200, 225/250), the 1000s (2000, 5000, 10,000, 15000, 50000), and month/week/day intervals, can be resonable. Just don't add ridiculously accurate years (unless the event is supposed to happen on an exact date, and even then, that date is preferred over a year interval.). For example, not 13 days, 17 years, 23 weeks, etc. But 1/2/5/10 [unit] intervals are fine.

Fanon/canon difference[]

  1. Do not copy or create a complete canon timeline on a canon-covered structure. The community doesn't want to confuse the readers into thinking that some apparently canon work is in fact fanon, or vice versa. (For example, Times Square, Hong Kong, London, Arc de Triomphe, etc.)
    1. Previously, plagarizing timelines could get a block, as it puts the integrity of a clear canon/fanon delineation, at risk, which will confuse the wikis. (Canon/fanon confusion has happened before, almost with large effects to the wikis, especially concerning the interface.)
    2. Events that happened in the canon series can affect other fan-made timelines for the structures in particular areas (for example, disasters such as earthquakes, fires, storms, etc.). These will further help to degrade the structures - feel free to put that in!
    3. Do not confuse fanon and canon trivia, i.e. don't put fan-made trivia that could be confused with official canon content and style. Otherwise this will 'blur' the boundary between canon and fanon as well.
      1. If there is any trivia, clearly differentiate what is purely fanon, and what could be possible/official canon.

More rules to be added soon

Timeline Help[]

This page will stand as a template anyone can use as a base for their pages. Go as many years as you want but remember the following...

  1. The power grid will fail after 24 hours, with only the American Southwest, Palm Spring Area, and any solar powered buildings and structures still alight due to being either independent from the power grid or from using renewable energy. Places powered by wind farms will last a year longer, hydroelectrical power will last a maximum of 5 years, and solar panels will last a maximum of 10 years.
  2. No "One Second, Minute, Hour After People". Its already been pre-established that people vanish suddenly, and that everything stays where it is and how it is. So there won't be any cars suddenly crashing due to people disappearing or things of that sort.
  3. All buildings will be collapsed by the 10,000 Years mark, unless the buildings in question are realistically capable of lasting forever.
  4. Any largely wooden structure will be collapsed by the 50 Year mark, skyscrapers of the modern era and reinforced concrete structures will last 150 Years unless a building design makes it collapse sooner or make it last a little longer, structures made entirely of concrete will last a minimum of 1000 Years.
  5. If you make a page about a structure in the same city as a different structure, refer to the older page as a base for any natural disasters or events that take place in that city
