== Types of canon ==
There are three types of canon that will appear on this wiki:

* '''Canon:''' information from works that have been actively published. This is largely immutable.
* '''Paracanon:''' information that actively informs canon, yet which does not appear in the work itself. This may be mutable.
* '''Protocanon:''' information that is in development, nice to have, or generally accepted within the community, yet which is unrelated to any of the canon. This may not be a wise choice to include on the wiki as a source of truth. ''Please mark protocanon as such using the <nowiki>{{Protocanon}}</nowiki> template within the section containing it.''
