Every policy on this wiki is for this wiki only. Avatars do not apply as they are shown across Wikia, therefore, there was never a rule for avatars. I hope this is clear now.

When I asked about fanart as my avatar he said it was fine. I had fan art as my avatar for months and no one said a thing.I came here less than a year ago so when did it become a rule we weren't allowed fanart for our avatars?


 * @Drones The problem with the fanart rule is that some admins/mods enforce it and some don't. We need to make it very clear what the restrictions are on fanart.
 * @Candy I don't know when, exactly; but it was at least in effect in 2012, since I got a warning then to not use fanart in my avatars.
