Character Stats and Profiles Wiki

In the past, we have encouraged users to create new pages for powers and abilities they thought the wiki lacked. However, as of now, we want new pages to be approved by the staff, meaning that new powers and abilities pages must be suggested. This can be done in our official Discord server in the suggestion channel, or messaged to a staff member. Of course, users can always create blogs about powers and abilities to include in their profiles if they don't want to attempt creating official pages. Linking to other wikis' powers and abilities pages is also permitted.

Canon

This is spelled "cannon". Do not mix up the terms.

Summary[]

Canon is a term used to designate what is considered "official" in a certain fictional universe. With few possible exceptions, only canon material is featured in the character pages. Non-canon material doesn't count - it never happened outside of their own isolated canon and the material should only be on character pages covering that isolated canon's material.

The generally agreed-upon definition is that the work by the author/creator or license holders of the fictional setting is canon, unless the author or the copyright holder declares otherwise. Few other exceptions are also possible and should be noted on the verse page.

The primary canon is the source material first released (with few possible exceptions), secondary canon is events that are set within the same universe but are either contradicted by the primary material or are listed as being outside of the official timeline even though they reference primary canon as happening.

Secondary canon can be used to grant further insight into feats, abilities and scaling that was absent in the primary canon and as such should be considered as valid unless under specific circumstances such as characters gaining completely new abilities or power boosts that they never received in the primary canon.

There are types of media which have spin-off material set in the same or similar settings with the same characters but with vastly different events and stories which make them their own canon. These types of canon can be given their own Verse pages if they are different and expansive enough (e.g. Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog, DC's Animated Universe, Marvel's Cinematic Universe). Other examples of this are crossover media which falls under this category unless the crossover happens in the primary or secondary canon (e.g. Dr. Slump and Dragon Ball).

Spin-off media that is completely distinct to primary and secondary canon are to be considered as completely different and therefore characters the primary canon do not receive any feats from the spin-off media.
