The Sims Wiki policy on [[The Sims Wiki:Player stories|Player stories]]. See also The Sims Wiki's [[The Sims Wiki:Policy#Fanon Policy|Fanon policy]] for rules regarding fan fiction, and its placement in the Fanon Namespace.
# No CAS player stories should exist in the main namespace of the wiki except for articles designated for player stories. If a CAS page has been created it should be moved to the user namespace, i.e. prefixed with "User:<username>". Users can write stories in their blog, on a user page or at [[Create-A-Sim/Player stories]].

== Fanon Policy ==
'''Fanon''' is any story, biography or description of any Sim, family, neighborhood or feature which was not created by EA and/or Maxis and which does not appear in the games at the time of their release. The Sims Wiki has adopted special policies regarding creation of fanon, and has created a special [[The Sims Wiki:Fanon Portal|Fanon Namespace]], where fanon content shall be placed. The following rules apply to fanon content, and all users should familiarize themselves with the rules before creating any fanon.
*Fanon content must adhere to all other applicable Wiki policies, including rules regarding profanity and content quality.
*Fanon may only be created by registered contributors: All fanon contributors must [[Special:Signup|register an account with Wikia]] and log into their account before creating fanon content.
*All fanon pages must have the prefix "Fanon:", such as ''Fanon:<Name of Sim>''. This prefix automatically adds fanon content into the Fanon Namespace.
*Fanon pages are to be managed by the person who created them. Fanon pages should not be edited without the creator's consent, unless the edit is minor or serves to correct policy violations.
*All fanon content should be substantial (i.e. more than "stub-length") to warrant its own page(s).
*Fanon that is not substantial, written poorly, or abandoned by its author, may be deleted after a reasonable period of time.
*Bio pages for fanon Sims need some purpose for their creation. Bio pages typically should not be created unless the Sim is involved in a story or unless the Sim is referenced elsewhere in a user's fiction.
*All fanon must be placed in the Fanon Namespace, to prevent confusion between fanon and actual game content (canon). Fanon pages created in the main namespace (i.e. lacking the 'Fanon:' prefix in the page name) will be moved to the correct namespace on the first and second incorrect placement, accompanied with an advisory notice or warning against placing Fanon in the namespace. After two incorrect placements, all subsequent fanon placed in the main namespace will be deleted, and its creator will be subject to a one-day block (which may escalate if needed).
*Fanon administrators may mark fanon content with a {{t|Fanon-cleanup}} template if the fanon page does not meet quality criteria. If the article is not improved, it will be deleted. Users who are currently working on fanon pages but whose pages may not yet be up to quality criteria may mark their pages with a {{t|Fanon-uc}} template, notifying administrators that the page is being worked on. If the page is not improved within a reasonable time, an administrator may mark the page with the {{t|Fanon-cleanup}} template.
''The Fanon Policy has taken effect as of 18 February, 2011.''
