But yeah, "Custom content" is the name I would go for since it's the most easily noticeable one, I guess. - [[User:SimDestroyer|SimDestroyer]] ([[User talk:SimDestroyer|talk]]) 13:58, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|SimDestroyer}} I don't think moving Sims, families, neighborhoods, pets, lots, etc. into the fanon namespace would help. If you look at the [[Special:PrefixIndex/The_Sims_Wiki:The_Customized_Sims_Wiki/|pages]] The Customized Sims Wiki has, many of them are actually Sim articles for Sims in custom worlds. I think one of the reasons why The Customized Sims Wiki didn't use our fanon namespace initially is that what they were doing wasn't really "fanon". We can define "fanon" as "fan fiction", so I'd use that namespace for Sims that I have created for my storytelling purposes. There is no expectation that my Sims or neighborhoods would be made available for download anywhere. What makes The Customized Sims Wiki different is that it's basically like The Sims Wiki, but covering downloadable custom content rather than fan fiction. As such I don't expect the Custom content namespace to have things like a written story or anything. Moving them into the fanon namespace, in short, is what The Customized Sims Wiki set out ''not'' to do. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 16:21, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
If we do go for "Custom content" to be the namespace, should both words be capitalised, i.e. "Custom Content"? I'm not sure why I prefer the latter option. It could be for aesthetic reasons, although the former option is more consistent with other namespaces, e.g. "MediaWiki talk", <strike>"User blog" on Wikia</strike>, etc.

:{{ping|TheTimMan}} Namespaces are not case sensitive, so [[Tsw:Sandbox]] and [[TSW:Sandbox]] both redirect to the same place. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 16:21, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
