Forum:Quick question about fanon additions

Forums: Index → Wright Reading Room → Quick question about fanon additions | Post

I would like to ask the administrators and/or those who knows the answer. Since the Sims Fannon has been moved to this wiki, my question is what is the proper way to title the article, or articles, pictures, and such, on here? I noticed that the articles that I would like to add have the Fannon with the two dots, one top of the other (I think that is called a semi colon or some sorts), then the article name. Example: Fanon:Article name. Right? And a follow-up question is if I have relating information that is, somewhat (by what I think should be on), on an another sub-article page (example Fanon:Name/Sub-page name) is this also correct? Another follow-up question, if someone has a fictional Sims video channel, like a YouTube channel made for Sims videos, is this also classified as a fanon article as well?

Thanks for the answers.

Yes, fanon articles are titled as "Fanon:pagename". Images are still titled in the File namespace. As for using YouTube videos, I'm not sure if we even have a rule for that seeing as most people would write fanon, rather than film. I suppose you could add a YouTube video as long as there is some text in the article, like a transcript of some kind. Lost Labyrinth • (c) • (b) 23:15, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

I was going to add the YouTube video into the article anyway but I want to know what is the proper way to do it. The other side of the YouTube question is to write an article about the YouTube Sims Channel, like the Sims 3 Channel and user created channels for The Sims, and the question that I asked could be asked this way, am I allowed to write about a Sims related articles on here without using the fanon namespace or write the article as a fanon namespace article? Sorry for the miscommunication. MrsCrumplebottom 23:24, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

That's difficult to say; if the channel were run by someone from EA who is on the game design team, then technically videos put on that channel would be canon, wouldn't they (looking for feedback on this)? But if it were just a video channel by a game player, articles based on those videos would be fanon. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk · blog} 05:15, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
