Gallowpedia:Canon

Revision as of 02:11, 18 October 2022 by DansFriend (talk | contribs)

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 ppMediEvil: 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!"
