Middle-Earth Fanon:Guidelines

Middle-Earth Fanon has a set of Guidelines writers need to adhere to when writing their articles. This page also acts as a guide to new writers.

Article guidelines

 * Fanon pages must be written in English; This is an English wikia, and no different language is accepted. American English and British English are both accepted.
 * Fanon pages must contain proper spelling; While we understand that people's knowledge on English might be limited, please try to type to the best of your ability. Also, licensed work, like the Lord of the Rings, should be italicized.
 * Fanon pages must contain correct tense and perspective; Since the Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit and all other licensed works take place in the past, excluding out-of-universe pages. Additionally, all pages are to be written from a third-person and neutral perspective.
 * Fanon pages must be categorized; Fanon pages should be written using any and all applicable categories, while not having too many. Additionally, personal categories, with the exclusion of Articles by NAME, are not allowed.
 * Fanon pages must follow canon or fan fiction; When you intend on writing a page that conflicts canon, you will have to create an universe for your page. While no-one is forced to create fan fiction works, it is suggested to have your characters appear in some form of work.

A good example of the above is Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor by Warner Bros. This isn't considered canon, but it is part of its own universe, for it conflicts large portions of canon. Whenever articles conflict canon, those articles will enter a custom universe of your design. You can however enter a custom universe even without having articles conflict canon. A custom universe however disallows you from writing with other people on the Middle-Earth wiki, unless they enter your universe.

Miscellaneous guidelines

 * Appopriate content; Disappopriate content will become subject to deletion.
 * Deletion; Not meeting the afore mentioned criteria may cause your article to be subject to deletion.
 * Off-topic articles; Articles related to different brands will be deleted without question. Crossovers are also not allowed.
