 Q: What is fanon?

A: Fanon is fake, fanmade stories about an already existing franchise. It's mostly done for fun by fans of said media but some of the writers of fanon material have managed to go big and make money off of it.

Q: What is the appropriate age rating for the content?

A: SpongeBob Fanon Wiki has articles rated from G to PG-13. G-rated articles should be fine for all ages, while PG-rated articles may contain mild language or slapstick (no worse then what'd you see on Cartoon Network) recommended for ages 8 and up. PG-13 articles may contain moderate violence, some foul language and sexual themes recommended for users ages 13 and up. R-rated and NC-17 material is typically frowned upon and users are banned if they post this kind of material, with certain exceptions with R-rated content.

'''Q: I saw a user using strong language/discussing sexually explicit things. Who do I report this to?'''

A: SBFW allows swearing, although racial slurs and graphic sexual detail is not allowed per Fandom's ToU. If you have a problem, you can ignore it and only read content rated G or PG, or you can ask an administrator to intervene if it breaks the ToU or SBFW's rating guidelines on acceptable content.

Q: What age do I need to be to submit a story?

A: You must be 13+ to have an account in order to comply with COPPA. However, if you are a parent, you can have your children submit their fanon stories on your account.

Q: Where can I contact the administrators of the site?

A: You can see a list of administrators here. You can differentiate administrators and regular users by how administrators have bold blue names instead of the normal link color. Check the list of admins on Special:Community too see how recent their latest edit was.
