The Great Machine:Canon Policy

From The Great Machine

Jump to: navigation, search

Part of what makes the B5 universe so appealing is the wide range of material covered within it. Being such a large place, there is a wide range of information available on it. Some of it is directly from the show, others made by adoring fans. The problem arises when fans start to create new stories, new technologies, etc. in this universe that conflict with one another or with established and/or future plots.

This article intends to lay out what exactly The Great Machine considers as sources of canon information.

[edit] What is Canon?

The term "Canon" refers, in our case, to information which comes from an authoritative source, such as JMS.

[edit] Editing Policies

Being as we are attempting to assemble information from a wide range of sources into one place, we need to be consistent with how we cite our sources. To prevent any debate over where a remark was referenced, simply use the wiki's built-in method of parenthetical reference to do so.
