This was also made to prevent any more pages like Error Sans from popping up by clearing this up and making an addition to our rules concering Fanon AUs.''' Fanon Alternate Universe's are fan-made spin-off universes that have a different setting or plot when in contrast with the original. A series popular for Fanon Alternate Universes is UnderTale with AUs such as UnderSwap, UnderFell, UnderSeige and many more...

A problem with creating pages with characters from AUs is that they're technically in violation of Rule 8: "'''Alternate forms of a character CANNOT have their own page (ex. Evil Ryu, 90's Godzilla, Dr. Mario)." '''

And Rule 19: "Original Characters, or OCs for short, are welcomed here on the wiki, however, before you create a page for your character, your original character(s) must successfully pass the Mary Sue Litmus Test..."

Essentially Fanon AUs are worlds filled with alternate "original characters" of a source material so they would technically be in violation of both of these rules. Note that characters like SMG4 does not truly count as a AU character since he's more of an Internet Persona with his own original universe and story (like how AVGN and Filthy Frank have a canon story and universe surrounding them). Whereas something like Error Sans is an essentially both an OC and an alternate form of a character from an alternate story version of UT rather than an Internet Persona like SMG4.

However, this matter is subjective meaning it is all about a point of view so I'll ask you guys to seal the future fate of Fanon AUs: Should Fanon AU characters be banned? Yes No

If you need any clarification or want to discuss this case then do so appropriately and respectfully. Just one objection, what if a fanon AU fight was completed? Seems a bit unfair to just remove the work.
