A fanon wiki is a type of wiki containing fan created ideas, usually fanfiction, OCs and other fanmade concepts. It is the fanon opposite of a canon-focused wiki. While most canon-focused wikis (such as the Harry Potter Wiki) disallow addition of fan-made content, fanon wikis regularly encourage these types of articles.

Most fanon wikis are encyclopedic in nature and therefore act as a repository for fan ideas and concepts. Some fanon wikis function similar to that of fanfic archive and store fics written by users. This is not common. The primary purpose for fanon wikis is contain pages on fan-made characters, locations, objects, movies etc instead of exclusively fanfiction.

Occasionally, a canon-focused wiki will expand its content and allow the creation of fan-made content. The Avatar Wiki is the most notable wiki to do so as in 2009 the Avatar Fanon Wiki and the Avatar Wiki merged content forming a combined fanon and canon resource.

FANDOM, the wiki hosting site, has a designated category for "Fanon" wikis.

Fanexus will have a wiki for fandom activity.
