The Fanonbenders user group is designed to reformat articles in the fanon namespace where normal user would not be permitted by the fanon policy. The user group however, holds no extra power or authority over any other users which may or may not edit the fanon portal.

The Fanonbenders target low quality fanon articles and constructively edit spelling, grammar, image sizes, coding errors, inserts compulsory templates, edits links, and whatever else the fanon article may need to be improved on.

The user group was created to combat the plethora of low quality fanon articles on Avatar Wiki in May 2011, after a proposal by group founder Rassilon of Old in a forum thread regarding the current procedures for handling low quality fanon, which is 'dumping' it in the author's user space.

Rules and regulations Edit

The Fanonbenders user group has several rules and guidelines that must be followed by all members;

• This user group improves only fanon portal articles. All canon articles are managed by the Fire Sages user group.
• All members should improve fanon articles, or mark them for improvement on the discussion page as a preference to moving articles to the respective author's user space.
• When reformatting a fanon page, please include "Fanonbender duties" in the edit summary followed by a list of major edits made, so as not to create confusion amongst the fanon community as to why you're editing other users' articles.

Membership requests archive

Due to the user group playing a vital role in the collaborative tidiness and organization of the fanon portal and the large size of the fanon portal itself, the Fanonbenders are a group of experienced fanon authors who take on some extra responsibility. Users may be nominated to join by other members of the Fanonbenders user group and may also nominate themselves. Once a nomination is supported by Fanonbenders, and accepted by the nominee, the nominee becomes a member.
