We stopped allowing fanon because it was decided that fanon was too hard to determine the notability of, and there was also no feasible "cutoff point" for notability. It was too nebulous a determination for something that should be on the back burner anyway. The two options were therefore "allow all fanon" and "allow no fanon", and of course "allow all fanon" is not very acceptable (it would easily drown out the rest of the wiki).

::Which is more likely: someone looking up how to wavedash or someone looking up a Smash Flash game? I think the former.
::Additionally, origin sections are, in my opinion, more important than the entire Smasher namespace.
