The following are the Rules of Fanon on this Wiki. Please do not post pages saying non-confirmed characters not of the Soul series are going to be in future Soul Calibur games. The earliest example of this occurrence was when people were posting up the Kratos page when he was rumored to be in Soulcalibur IV. Since it wasn't confirmed, the page was deleted. Despite the fact that he was a guest character in Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, it counted as abuse because it said that he was to be in IV before anything was confirmed. Even if it begins with FanChar in front of it, it still counts as abuse. The rule extends to making presumptions about sequels, such as assuming one particular character will be the villain of Soulcalibur V. Be warned, vandalism and infringement will not be taken lightly.
Characters
1. The ability of creating a page for your fan created character is a privilege, not a right. Despite the merge with the SC Fanon, this rule is in effect.
2. Do not infringe on copyrighted or trademarked characters. Saying that they’re in a fan game (see fan game below), Fan Fiction (see Fan Fictions below), or a Fan Universe (See Fan Universes bellow) is allowed, but please don’t create pages for them under the fanchar template. It still counts as infringement and is prohibited. But... characters that are parodies are allowed.
3. Do your best to be original when creating pages for your Fan/Original Characters. Saying that they’re things like ‘force users’ is allowed, but originality is something to be respected.
4. Please note that editing someone else’s Fan/Original Character without their permission is prohibited.
5. Only post your Fan/Original Characters under the User Fan Character category. To post them in the Main Character, Guest Character, or Bonus Character categories is Prohibited.
6. You must use the UserCharacter template when posting your Original/Fan Character.
- REDIRECT Template:UserCharacter (Old)
7. Editing Main Character pages to match them up with Original/Fan Character pages is prohibited.
8. If you have a fan character that isn't on your Userpage, please move it to FanChar:<Your Username>:<CharacterName> e.g. FanChar:Hyper Zergling:Tian for Hyper Zergling's fan character Tian.
Here's an updated version for the Page link. User:<Your Username>/<Character Name> e.g. User:SMS1996/Jonah for SMS1996's FC Jonah. However, you may still use the above page link if you prefer it.
9. As of April 26, 2010, the number of characters allowed per user is limited to five. All users who have exceeded this number before the said date is exempted.
10. As of October 25, 2012, you cannot use screenshots from games outside the Soul series. You may use screenshots taken from the Soul series and fan art.
Fan Games
1. Fan Games are allowed to have their own pages as long as they’re under the Fan Game category only.
2. When saying that a copyrighted or trademarked is to be in a Fan Game, please note that posting a page for them (even if under the fanchar template) is still infringement.
3. Editing someone else’s Fan Game without their permission is prohibited.
4. You must use the UserGame template when making Fan Games.
Template:UserGame
5. When creating a FanGame, please don't say that its something like SoulCalibur VI for example, unless you add a subtitle. And this rule is now being enforced.
Fan Characters and Fan Games Protections
1. This is a notice that you have your own right to protect your own articles for not getting copied and editing without permission.
2. You must use the {{Writer|YOUR NAME}} template when making Original/Fan Character or Fan Games. And make sure to add UserCharacter or UserGame above of this templates:
Template:Writer
3. If someone is copy or editing (excluding staff) without your permission, you may directly report Admin(Most active) and we will put it under investigation.
Fan Fictions
1. Please note that this wiki is not really the place to post Fan Fictions. You may post pages about your Fan Fictions under the FanFic Category and link them to either FanFiction.Net or Deviant Art where they are posted.
Fanon universes
Fanon universes (a.k.a. FanVerse) are the newest addition to Fanon on this Wiki. They are universes for Fan Fictions that are linked by either the same or different users. Just be sure to put FanVerse e.g. FanVerse:Circle of Legends for example, on the title of the page. And add a small description and list of fan fictions that are part of that Fanon universe. Don't forget to put your Fan Universe in the Fanon universe Category.
Penalties
1. Breaking any of the Rules of Fanon will not go without consequence.
2. The first two times you break a rule will result in warnings.
3. The third strike, and you’re out. Your account will be blocked if you dare go that far.
4. Admins may correct things on Fanchar, Fan Game, Fan Fiction, and Fanverse pages. Please note that this is only going as far as correcting Categories.
