Also, you should not be able to link to a section within a fictitious page as it can mislead you into thinking fiction is fact. Basically, I think that it should be allowed so long as the author makes it obvious that it's fiction. - [[User:Joseph256|Joseph256]] ([[User talk:Joseph256|talk]]) 3:40, 3 Februry 2014 (GMT) |

Eligibility
To avoid sock puppetry I added a section of who is allowed to vote. I guess with accounts created prior to “today” everybody should be fine (so supporter of one section don't create many accounts now). But to give at least new accounts a chance I added the condition for them to do at least non-fictional edits in two different articles. Is that fine with you? Especially that “non-fictional edit” might be to fuzzy. — xZise [talk] 11:06, 16 January 2014 (CST)
I generally think that such fiction should be placed on subpages of user talk pages, with only an index of such pages somewhere on the main Wiki. We may even want to make a User/Fan_Works official designation for the sections, and create a category designation so users can get things on the major index without editing it. Minor fiction in the screenshots are OK, for instance names of user designed rockets and stations. However, it is designated that such descriptions should be the responsibility of the authors, and should not extend beyond basic framing of how the screenshot is relevant to said page. This is a good compromise, and compromises really help out. --Ruedii (talk) 23:46, 16 January 2014 (CST)
