The current logo was projected by the user DarknessEyes23 and released official on September 29, 2017, following the community's approval expressed a day later.

Featured Article

The Featured Article has been present in Star Wars Fanonpedia's history from the very beginning of the wiki's existence, and its first election was completed as soon as a month after the foundation.

The status of the Featured Article is the highest way to feature one user's invention amongst others. Traditionally, it is set visible on the main page for one month or two, as often as the activity condition requires this solution.

Since December 2016, the Featured Article had been on hold due to a low activity from the community. It was eventually brought back in July 2017, in which three articles were featured on the main page rather than one.

Removal of the bureaucrat in office should be approved of by the community, and the right to vote should be granted to every fanonpedist who had a contribution in the wiki within 30 days prior to the creation of the appropriate thread in Discussions. A proposal should be constructive, it should therefore suggest a candidate for the new bureaucrat. If the bureaucrat resigns from the permission themselves, the voting is carried out by starting an appropriate post in Discussions, where the permission to vote should be granted to all users who had a contribution in the wiki within 30 days prior to the post's creation, or a request for adoption is issued.
   2. The administrator permissions are given to fanonpedists with a broad experience and the community's support. A request for giving or taking the administrator permissions can be issued by any one of fanonpedists by creating an appropriate thread in Discussions, where the permission to vote should be granted to all of unblocked fanonpedists who had a contribution in the wiki within 30 days prior to its creation. The bureaucrat, having consulted other active administrators, has the right to reject giving the permissions to a user elected in this way if a lack of enough experience is concluded.
   3. The bureaucrat grants the permissions of the content moderators to fanonpedists who are nominated by the administrators and takes them without having to discuss it with the community. The bureaucrat grants the permissions of the thread moderator to fanonpedists with a broad experience and the community's support.

4. The community of Star Wars Fanonpedia possesses the official Discord Server (ID: 323557016159125515), which is the official method of fanonpedists' communication. Administrators present on the Discord server are obliged to save the seriousness of the performed functions, and their negative behavior can affect their future career in the wiki. Apart from the Discord server, Star Wars Fanonpedia possesses a forum in the shape of Discussions.
5. As a fan initiative, Star Wars Fanonpedia is open to starting cooperations with other websites which are referring to Star Wars directly or indirectly and with other wikis. A commercial of websites not considered Star Wars Fanonpedia's official friends requires the agreement of administrators, as it can be considered spam.
6. The content of articles shared in Star Wars Fanonpedia is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License 3.0. Although it predicts a possibility to modify the shared content, in Star Wars Fanonpedia, we try to avoid situations in which someone interfered in a content of someone else's invention. Star Wars Fanonpedia thus considers its users authorship by marking their nicknames in articles which they share, but the later, potential removal of their invention only depends of the administrators' good will.
7. Star Wars Fanonpedia tolerates either serious or humorous invention. However, it is forbidden to share contents aimed against other persons. It is also forbidden to use offensive vocabulary, and the block is predicted for spam, trolling, vandalism, and other signs of a harmful behavior to the website. The block imposed by the administrators applies to a user rather than an account, thus a usage of multi accounts is forbidden. Articles violating the rules referred to above can be deleted by administrators and moderators. In Star Wars Fanonpedia Fandom's inside rules are also obeyed.
8. The purpose of Star Wars Fanonpedia is not only being a place to create one's own in-universe items, but also sharing one's own literary stories. These should be namespaced in "Opowiadanie".
9. The method for featuring the most developed and the most interesting articles is the election of the Featured Article, which should be chosen by the community once a month unless otherwise impossible. As the Featured Article is intended for being on the Main Page, it must honor all wiki standards, including those received historically.
10. These rules apply to all users of Star Wars Fanonpedia, and any change within them should come out after a discussion with the community by starting a thread in Discussions. The right to vote should be granted to all fanonpedists who had a contribution in the wiki within 30 days prior to the post's creation.
