Due to varying authorship for the released materials, contradictions between sources can arise. In order to ensure that the ''MediEvil Wiki's'' articles don't contradict each other, a hierarchy of canonicity is set in place to decide which sources take precedence and which facts should be accepted as '''canon'''.
