With the rise of independent writers arriving at our wiki, I feel like I should address this topic. While during the first four years this was absolutely unacceptable, communities are always changing. Previously, we allowed users to promote their independent writing on our wiki as long as it was hyperlinked away from our wiki. That still holds true today, but with minor changes.

Firstly, let me address that the SAOF Wiki has its own universe and about 99% of material is within that universe. It has rules. If you wish to partake in the universe FOLLOW THE RULES. I cannot stress that enough. If you end up being banned and haven't read the policies, that will be entirely YOUR fault.

For non-SAOF canon users, if you wish to create your own template, you are free to do so. However, it must be a clean, crisp design. New users love an organized wiki. I'd like to keep it that way. And please, have your name included in the title of the template so we can distinguish ours from yours.

Story-wise, our universe will most likely not have any affiliation with yours. Do not put any cameo appearances of our characters with yours. This is parallel to our cross-over policies and will result in consequence.

If a non-SAOF canon page is left untouched for a long period of time, it is likely it will be deleted for the next time we have a Purge.

Any questions, feel free to ask below. Other than that, have fun and keep writing.
