Revision as of 14:29, October 17, 2011
Forums: Index → Watercooler → Fanon namespace
I was thinking about this, perhaps we can create a namespace to cover notable fanon? This can allow us to bring in potential new users, which will then draw attention to the Wiki, increase activity, and in turn draw attention to the mainspace, while the fanon namespace will keep fanon material separate from the official material. We would need some regulation though, to keep the fanon namespace from devolving into a heap where anyone can put up anything. Such as, we can rewrite SW:NOTE to cover fanon material for the fanon namespace as well, where only fan games/movies/fiction that are deemed notable enough will be allowed, along with their related content. We will also make it clear that the fanon namespace is not a place you can put your opinions of a Smash game, such as your own tier lists, matchup charts, etc.
I'm myself am unsure about this, and haven't gave it too much thought, but I would like to see what the rest of the Wiki thinks about this idea. Omega Tyrant
