This thread was created in response to the sudden creation of a AU UT page: Error Sans and is to prevent any more pages like these from popping up.

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). They can fit on that character's page." '''

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 it's 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
