So, fanart generally shouldn't be on the wiki. In some cases, though, admins can make exceptions. For example, I've approved the ability pins fanart because I think they're useful art to have on the wiki, and because they aren't characters they're less of an issue.

The biggest issue with fanart on the wiki is that it can confuse readers into thinking the character looks very much like that. With fanart, details have to be filled in by the artist themselves, and sometimes even huge apperance points have to be filled in by the artist, and so the art isn't fully canon like art guided by Mrs. Messenger.

The other piece of fanart I've approved, though, is the one on Jolie's page. It's very based upon descriptions of Jolie, down to looking like Sophie. In addition, the art is signed by the artist, which I like. The wings on the image are also useful to the page because it helps the reader remember the whole thing about Jolie and the Black Swan and "follow the pretty bird across the sky." Any image that helps an infobox be more concisely informative is good.

So, there aren't many hard-and-fast rules, but hopefully my rambling above was helpful and made some sense.

I think I'll make it more clear on the policies that there's a low chance of your art being approved because we don't usually have it on the wiki.
