Most Fandom wikis are based around collaborative editing. However, the nature of fanon wikis takes a different approach. Each article is "owned" by its creator, who may request that no one else edits their pages without approval. This dynamic is further elaborated on in this editing policy.
Permissible edits
If you do not have permission to edit another user’s page, the only edits you are allowed to make are as follows:
- Categorizing the page.
- Correcting spelling.
- Correcting grammar.
- Reverting vandalism or spam.
- Organizing or correcting the page to conform to the wiki’s policies.
Using other fanon/fanfiction
You may not add, remove, or change story details from a page you did not create unless you have permission. One notable exception is the Free-edit template, which allows any user to make additions to a page, though alterations of preexisting material should first be discussed in the page's comment section.
You also may not use or link to someone else’s story as part of your own without the author’s permission. However, pages that are tagged with the Free-use template may be referenced by any user in their pages, but this tag does not give you permission to add, remove, or change content from a page without permission. The author may establish terms and conditions for the use of the reference in their page's comments section.
