Crossovers are, actually, only a small portion of what the Fanon entails. And is definately not its primary focus. The core of the RWBY Fanon is characters and stories that follow as closely to the Canon as possible, with Crossover styled things being a very minor thing, often delegated to only the forums and blogs, and never specific pages.

Official character pages are reviewed and critiqued by Reviewer staff so that they can weigh wether or not the character truly fits canon in abilities, backstory and what not. This causes more than ample issue when the character pages themselves are designed with the AU in mind.

If AU is your only purpose, making true pages for everything is not the way to go about doing it. It, as my coleague has stated, makes things very difficult for us in terms of page categorization. Keep AUs to blogs and the appropriate section of the Forums. If you absolutely must make a page, make a page for an official fanon character, that conforms to all of the Fanons guidelines and review standards, then add a section under all that that outlines what's different in your AU.
