    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.

    The hierarchy of canonicity

    • Tier 1: Information originating from mainline MediEvil games and accompanying materials, with the latest entries taking precedence.
    • Tier 2: Information originating from officially licensed works (e.g. publications, media releases) with direct involvement from the games' creators or creative team.
    • Tier 3: Information originating from non-official or non-licensed works with direct involvement from the games' creators or creative team.
      • Developer interviews, blogs, etc.
    • Tier 4: Information originating from officially licensed works without direct involvement from the series' creators and/or creative team.

    About MediEvil: Resurrection

    Due to not being considered a part of the mainline series, information from Resurrection should be presented as an incorrect, alternative history, as is done in the MediEvil comic:

    "Some scholars offer an alternative tale of Dan's resurrection. Among other things they claim that when first reanimated, Dan had a cantankerous one-eyed 'genie' hanging out inside his skull. They suggest that the Hall of Heroes was some open-air Greek spa floating in the clouds... Pah! Preposterous! None of that makes any sense!"
