This page documents an official Avatar Wiki policy. It is a widely accepted standard that should normally be followed by all editors.

Like the main canon articles on Avatar Wiki, fanon articles also must be of high quality and actually contribute to the content of the fanon side of the wiki. All fanon articles should be of an acceptable quality, adhering at least to the basic rules of spelling and grammar, such as capitalizing the first letter of a name and of each new sentence, and dividing sentences by the use of punctuation. Pieces of fanon that do not meet the quality standards will be subject to reallocating the page to the author's userspace.

Procedure Edit

Any article that is of low quality or lower, will be subject to movement to the author's userspace. This can be done by any user that has come across the article by simply renaming it "User:author's username/article's name that is to be moved". After moving the article, the {{Fanonmoved}} template is to be left on the author's talk page, alerting him/her that the article has been moved and is no longer considered to be part of the fanon portal. An extra message, saying what the exact reason was that caused the movement may be left, but isn't mandatory. The article is to remain in the author's userspace until he or she has expanded it and/or brought it up to at least medium standard.

Moved articles are only moved back to the fanon portal on an administrator's discretion. If the author wishes that an article is moved back to the fanon portal, a message should be left on the administrator noticeboard, notifying the administrators of the article's improvement and inviting them to evaluate the set requirements one last time before possibly moving it back. This procedure is to prevent a constant moving back and forth of low quality articles.

Types of qualities Edit

Hollow articles Edit

Hollow articles are articles that only contain heading and subheadings, and little to no actual content.

Dramatically low quality Edit

As it can be assumed, articles of this standard are not at all acceptable on this wiki. Articles of this quality contain terrible grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and also are difficult to read and understand fully.

Dramatically low quality example - katar use her waterbendin a swished it at azula. haha shouted azula u cant get me!!!! katara beceme ferius and bended a grat amount of ise into azula's head. she died and then aang came and said katara you killd her and katara felt bad but she knew she did the rite thing and then zuko sokka toph appa momo suki and iro they comfortd her katara was sad she cried tears of pain sorrow sadnes but most of all simpathy and then aang said akatara are doin okay then katara said yes then they kissed and they are now in love and they get married and live happily ever after the end.

Low quality Edit

Articles of this quality will either contain somewhat bad grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure, or they will be very bad in only one or two aspects.

Low quality example - ozai jetted up into the air. he looked at Aang evilly. Aang Knew this moment would be comin he wacked ozai With a blade of air. But Ozai dodged it and fired litening at Aang. the lightning nearly peersed aang's heart. He jumped into the air and thried to bend a water wave at Ozai. "What do you want Ozai!' yelled aang 'to kill you!" replied Ozai. The battle went on for hous and neither gained the upper hand but eventually aang went into the Avatar State and...

Medium-high quality Edit

Articles that meet at least medium quality will be kept on the wiki. Articles that fall under the category of "high quality" will not only be happily accepted into our wiki, but will also have the chance of becoming a featured fanon article or series, which means it has the chance to be featured on the main page for an entire month after a voting process.

• Medium quality example - Aang looked back. Azula and her army of rebels was hot on their heels. Appa couldn't keep up with them. They were too fast. Then, all of the sudden, the team turned around, and they saw Azula, who had jetted herself all the way to Appa. Zuko looked in shock as his insane sister started shooting fire at the team. The blue fire nearly hit Aang, so he jumped up, and blasted Azula off the bison. She fell, screaming, though she saved herself, by jetting into the air.

• High quality example - Across the horizon, a thin ripple of a deep crimson, almost indigo, spreads as jet black ink over paper, though a smattering of golden flecks still twinkle, their light dimmed in the coming change. The scarlet moves up through the sky, soaking the darkness of the night away, while at the bottom of the fiery cascade is a barely perceptible orange border. Stealing through night's uncertainties, a single bird cry flashes like thunder over the mountains, a bright dragon hawk's skree, echoing and rebounding, building into an orchestra unto itself. More cries join the first, a chorus heralding the arrival of the emperor who brings light, heat, and life itself.
