Star Wars Fanon:Content policy

The Star Wars wiki of fan invention.


The Star Wars Fanon Content Policy is a policy enacted to monitor the content placed into articles on Star Wars Fanon, which is a part of the continuing effort to maintain a standard of quality and excellence across the website. Violation of these policies will first result in a warning and a request to change or remove the content. Further violations will lead to a deletion of said offensive content and incrementally increasing bans in accordance with the Personal Attacks Policy for each violation, along with deletion of said content. Application of this policy will be at the discretion of an Administrator. In the event that an Administrator's content is brought into question with regards to this policy, they will be ineligible to determine the appropriateness of the content due to a conflict of interest.

[edit] Content limitations

  1. No severe profanity (f***, G*****n, etc.) is allowed. Mild profanity is tolerable, as long as it is not excessive. If you're not sure if the word is severe or not, it is. Articles with tolerable, but heightened, levels of profanity should be tagged with a glaring template. If legitimate complaints are raised about an article by more than one user, it should be examined by an administrator and possibly tagged/have content removed. Please use the {{Profanity}} template to tag an article with excessive profanity.
  2. The policy on violence recognizes that conflict is an essential part of Star Wars and that war is hell. As such, violence may be described in a manner reflecting that truth, but without descending into the depths of excess brutality or gruesomeness. Pictures should be appropriate for all audiences and descriptions should exercise restraint and good taste in describing violence. Content that is borderline should be tagged with a warning template at the top of the article. If legitimate complaints are raised about an article by more than one user, it should be examined by an administrator and possibly tagged/have content removed. Please use the {{Violence}} template to tag an article with excessive violence.
  3. Pornography is not permitted and will result in a permanent ban. Deal with it.
  4. Sexuality. Content that is overly erotic in nature, particularly when it only exists for titillation value, is not permitted on Star Wars Fanon. Images with a scarcity of clothing should be in good taste and used sparingly, not splashed all over the article. Descriptions of sexual activity should be preferably avoided, but mild sexuality is allowed if tagged appropriately. Images/detailed descriptions of sex are not mild. Err on the side of caution here. Otherwise, the interpretation of "mild" and "good taste" will be left to a neutral administrator. If legitimate complaints are raised about an article by more than one user, it should be examined by an administrator and possibly tagged/have content removed. Please use the {{Sexuality}} template to tag an article with excessive sexuality.
  5. Racism should not be censored from Star Wars Fanon unless it is against an Earthly race (i.e: Caucasians, Hispanics, Africans, Asians). If there is prejudice against a particular race from Earth in fanon, it will be deleted, not because of its offensive content but because of its irrelevance to Star Wars. If presented in a Neutral Point of View context, "speciesism" and prejudice against a Human faction in Star Wars (e.g. Kuatis, Corellians) should not be considered offensive. Please use the {{Racism}} template to tag an article with racism.
  6. This applies universally to SWF. That means userpages. There is no grandfather clause either.

[edit] Conclusion

If you are not old enough to see "Revenge of the Sith," there is no guarantee that you will be exposed to content suitable for your age. Hopefully, content will be tagged to give at least fair warning if it is objectionable, but there are no censors on the Internet. As always, user discretion is advised.
