::I'm also agreeing there would need to be guidelines before this started, even if we were to go with a Mother Fanon route. [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 22:02, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

:I think a new wiki would be a good idea. The alternative would be to have a namespace in this wiki, but that would get things too messy, too quickly. A fanon wiki helps bring a lot of activity to an otherwise dying franchise, and as Tacopill said, there is actually a scary high number of fan games and fan content being made.

:::I'm all for covering fan games on here since this is a small franchise, and covering fan games can help expand this wiki and bring in more editors.
 
:::However as Alex said, we should have guidelines and a limit to what should be covered. If you ask me, I feel it should be clearly recognizable as an EarthBound game or inspired by it. Second I would consider notability and how well known it is within the community, much like how SmashWiki handles hacks like Project M. If it's a small game that isn't as well known it should go into [[EarthBound hacks and fangames]] while big and popular ones can have their own pages.
