I never fully liked having one page for every race. I went along with it and didn't fight it much (I think) because it wasn't a big deal, and it's true, most of the histories are the same. But there are enough interesting alternate reality differences (I've always loved the Ruins' story of the Kree, which is why I had to make that separate section for it on the Kree page) that I don't see why we can't give each their own page. Or it would be interesting if we had some sort of generic info/disambig page. Something that would display the general physical/cultural traits, but would then link to the individual reality histories of the races.

But I'd just really hate to see a million Homo sapiens or Asgardian pages that all say they generally have 10 fingers and 10 toes. Basically, the "here's a generic page with generic info" syndrome we have for characters. Just because a race exists in an alternate reality doesn't mean it should earn its own separate page. Just wish we could do something to limit the ones created. The Asgardians of Earth X would deserve a separate page as they were quite different, but the Asgardians of plenty of other Earths are only known about because "hey, look, there's Thor!...Way in the background. Possibly. It's someone with a hammer, and that's good enough."
