What is fanon? Oh sure, there's the easy, quick answer—"Fanon is something Gonk purges from Wookieepedia with reckless savagery and unbridled loathing"—but deep down, it's a more complicated issue. The supposed definition of fanon is ideas generally considered to be true by many fans of a franchise which nevertheless have no concrete basis in canon. Wookieepedia gives the example of Palpatine's first name being "Cos." Plenty of fans might believe it and want it to be true, but by the rules of canon, it's not true. (The same goes for "Frank," by the way.)

(The same goes for "Frank," by the way.) The other definition of fanon is arguably synonymous with "fan fiction." Put simply, this is the totally awesome Mandalorian Jedi character about which you wrote an embarrassing number of pages which you then, eager to prove your talent to the world (but more specifically to representatives of Lucasfilm who you hope might one day read it, even though they never, ever will), uploaded to The Star Wars Fanon Wiki. This type of fanon (and smaller manifestations thereof) is generally what Wookieepedians are referring to when they complain about someone inserting fanon into Wookieepedia articles—which, it should be noted, is a really big, really bad, and really bannable violation of Wookieepedia's policies, since Wookieepedia strives to be accurate.
