Line 1: Line 1:
'''Non-canonical''' is the opposite of [[canon]].  Typically when something is non-canonical, it is not considered official in that particular fictional universe.
#REDIRECT [[Battlestar Wiki:Canon]]
 
In other words, [[canon|canonical]] events "actually occurred", whereas non-canonical events occur only in the non-canonical work itself. Non-canonical items include fan fiction and books not deemed canonical by the publisher, studio, or "the powers that be".
 
Other works can be ''quasi-canonical'', like the Expanded Universe of [http://www.starwars.com/ Star Wars] fame.  While the events portrayed in EU stories are not expressed acknowledged in the films, the powers that be at Lucasfilm do acknowledge their existence in the over-all universe of Star Wars (they only become non-canonical when a new canonical item, such as a new prequel movie, directly contradicts something in the EU).
