 Non-canon is information that is not considered "official" for Star Army. This includes things like alternate universes; wiki articles that are not yet approved, and threads marked as non-canon. Reasons that RP threads might be considered non-canon include non-canon elements (e.g. unapproved tech, stuff Star Army lacks rights to), or major events and changes to the setting that were not discussed/approved with the people responsible for the affected factions or characters. Non-canon is information that is not considered "official" for Star Army.

 +===== How Things Become Canon ===== 
 +The process for things to become canon is simple: 
 + 
 +  - Roleplay 
 +  - Create wiki pages based on what happened in the RP 
 +  - Get the wiki articles approved in the [[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/forums/setting-submissions.17/|Setting Submissions Forum]] 
 + 
 +As of [[calendar:2021]], wiki articles are supposed to only be approved once there's RP about the subject of the article. Therefore, everything added is supposed to have appeared in the RP before (e.g. it must already be soft canon).
