| - See Also: Apocrypha: An article that defines the concept and terms of Apocrypha within the VU. The following is to provide some additional guidance to any contributors who are looking to add content and provide new material to the wiki. Please consult before making any contributions. For the purposes of the Visionary Universe Wiki, apocryphal material, or simply apocrypha, refers to any material which has not been confirmed as canon material. Canon material is content, facts, events, concepts, etc. which have been clearly shown in published or distributed Visionary Universe productions. That content, once revealed, or established in published work, thus becomes authoritative and establishes itself as 'fact' in the Visionary Universe. When such is referenced in the wiki, referring only to facts specifically revealed in the stories themselves, than that reference content is also considered canon, and thus authoritative. Thus any material not firmly established directly in such published works is by definition apocryphal. Original material, or creative content created for the purposes of this wiki, revealing or defining anything not firmly established in an actual story, is also thus defined as apocryphal material. However the intent of the wiki is to consider material included herein to be as canonical as possible, depending on the intent, nature and type of the material being discussed. As a result, the level of 'apocryphal status' of any material created within the wiki can be broken into several categories based on type of material. Below is a listing of those categories, definitions of what material fits within them and guidelines for creating content within each of those categories. These should be considered only in application to creating content and material within the scope and confines of the reference Wikia.
