Star Wars Fanon Wiki
The Star Wars Fanon Wiki, SWFanon, or occasionally SW Fanon is a fanon, or fan-fiction Wiki for Star Wars.
The purpose of the Star Wars Fanon Wiki is to provide a wiki that creative Star Wars fans can publish their own fanon articles on with out being deleted like it would be at Wookiepedia. Users can read the material of other users, suggest change, or even edit the article to improve it (though you should get permission before you do more than very minor, simple revisions and fixes). The Wiki was made as a fanfiction version of the Wookieepedia, a Wikia made to document canon Star Wars information. Recently, a few non-canon facts have popped up here and there.
History
Star Wars Fanon was founded on August 30th, 2005 by Neomessiah. The wiki has been most active since May 2006, but many early users refer to it as "a dump" before that. A more complex main page was designed by MaulYoda in June 2006.
Community Names
What members of this site are called is a disputed topic. "Fanonians," "Fanonites," and other names have been suggested, though none have caught on in the current community. "Users" and "Contributors," which are Wikia-wide titles, are the general formal term for a writer of fanon on this site. "Fanonify" has been a term used, mimicking "Wikify" and "Wookify" from the Wikipedia and Wookieepedia.
Star Wars Fanon contributors view the Star Wars Fanon Wiki as a site to offer creative, and by no means unconstructive, work to a community on a common subject and offer suggestions and ideas to the such work of others. As there are few limits to the opportunities on this Wiki in the eyes of many users, the place makes up for its lack of research value with its value of teaching writers with experience and feedback.
