#REDIRECT [[Battlestar Wiki:Canon]]
'''Non-canonical''' is the opposite of [[canon]].  Typically when something is non-canonical, it is not considered an official element of the storyline in a particular work of fiction, commonly a series of novels of a television program. The term was originally a term used to differentiate heretical from accepted scripture in the [[w:Roman Catholic Church|Catholic Church]].
 
The SF television show ''[[w:Babylon 5|Babylon 5]]'' is unique in that all published works are considered canonical by the series creators. However, other shows such as ''[[memoryalpha:Star Trek|Star Trek]]'' have many officially-licensed stories (books and comics) that are not considered non-canonical because the story content often contradicts the aired episodes or theatrical films of the program. The ''[[w:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' franchise attempts to unify their officially-licensed novels and comics into the central movie storyline, with general success.
 
Battlestar Wiki is an encyclopedia for all officially-licensed ''Battlestar'' properties, aired or printed. Battlstar Wiki treats aired episodes (including ''[[Galactica 1980]])'') as canonical. Thus, to prevent non-canonical storylines from conflicting with canonical aired information while fulfilling the mission of chronicling all officially-licensed stories, Battlestar Wiki marks articles with non-canonical characters, events and situations in accordance with the [[BW:SEP|separate continuity]] policy.
 
Battlestar Wiki does not allow [[fan fiction]] or [[fanwanking]] of any kind in whole or in part in any article.
