{{Subject to change}}
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.
**''[[MediEvil (1998)]]'', ''[[MediEvil 2]]'', ''[[MediEvil (2019)]]'', [[:Category:manuals|manuals]].
*'''Tier 2''': Information originating from officially licensed works (e.g. publications, media releases) with direct involvement from the games' creators or creative team.
**''[[MediEvil: The Game Prequel]]'', press releases, [[:Category:official websites|official websites]].
*'''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.

==About ''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]''==
Due to not being considered a part of the mainline series, information from ''Resurrection'' should be presented on articles 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!"
