* Keeping track of nominations for Featured fanons/articles and appropriately updating the Fanon Main Page.
* Archiving previous updates, including reviews from the Fanon Review Squad, Featured fanon series/article nominations, Fanonbending achievements, and Fanon Award ceremonies.
* Ensuring that the Fanon Portal Main Page reflects the latest fanon-related news and blog posts, as well as moderating irrelevant material.
* Reformatting low-quality fanon articles and marking them for improvement when necessary. Overall, Fanonbenders moderate and update the fanon namespace where normal users would not be permitted by the fanon policy. This user group, however, holds no extra power or authority over any other users. While this usergroup also targets low quality fanon articles, any user can constructively edit spelling, grammar, image sizes, coding errors, faulty templates and links, or anything else that needs to be improved within a fanon article. All users are encouraged to contribute to the fanon portal in this manner, as involvement creates an active, higher quality, and more positive community overall. The Fanonbenders were originally created to combat the plethora of low-quality fanon articles circling around the portal My English Wiki in May 2011, after a proposal by Rassilon of Old in a forum thread. It was deemed a better approach than 'dumping' it into the targeted authors' userspace, which was the current protocol. In September 2012, however, it was decided that the Fanonbenders would look after all general updates in the portal as well, due to the widespread neglect of the Advertising System, archives, and Fanonbending achievements.
