| - Retcon of Retroactive continuity is een term om een opzettelijke verandering in continuïteit aan te duiden. De laatste jaren wordt het steeds meer en meer gedaan in de Star Wars continuïteit om oudere feiten weer te doen passen in het grote verhaal en te doen overeenkomen met nieuwe feiten.
- Short for retroactive continuity. Happens in Doctor Who all the time, unintentionally or otherwise.
- The Degrassi Franchise has been retconned four times. The first was by a year for Degrassi Junior High. This was then followed by a second retcon for Season 10 by two years, then (recently) a third retcon for Season 13 by one year and then again in Season 17.
- Retroactive continuity, or retcon for short, is the alteration of previously established facts in the continuity of a fictional work. Retcons exist in the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell series because of multiple writers in the various forms of the Splinter Cell media that change already established storyline details, plotlines, character backgrounds, etc. In some instances, the developers may address this issue while some details have not specifically been talked about. In these cases, it may become unclear what is established and what isn't because of inconsistencies (in the specific areas, these will be addressed).

- Retroactive continuity – commonly contracted to the portmanteau word retcon – refers to the act of changing previously established details of a political setting, often without providing an explanation for the changes within the context of that setting.
- Retcon es el acrónimo en inglés de retroactive continuity, que significa continuidad retroactiva. Consiste en retomar eventos que fueron canon en un pasado y en una nueva publicación cambiarles el sentido o también añadirles nueva información para generar nuevos personajes o cambiar los eventos para que encajen con los nuevos.

- A retcon is a change to the official canon of the story that revises, or sometimes even outright contradicts an earlier established rule or plot point. Because Fairly OddParents has been running for over a decade and has different writers behind each episode it is inevitable that some things in the plot will conflict with each other, so it is important to remember to distinguish between what is an actual retcon and what is a simple mistake in plot.
- Retcon is when a author or company completely erases or re-write a character(s),event(s), and or the entire series.
- Retroactive continuity — commonly refered to as retcon — is the adding of new information to "historical" material, or deliberately changing previously established facts in a work. The change itself is referred to as a "retcon", and the act of writing and publishing a retcon is called "retconning". Retcons are common in comic books, especially those of large publishing houses such as Marvel Comics, because of the lengthy history of many series and the number of independent authors contributing to their development; this is the context in which the term was coined.
- Retcon (englanniksi retroactive continuity, retroaktiivinen juonijatkumo) on fiktiossa tapahtuva ilmiö, jossa tarinan kirjoittaja muuttaa tarinan fiktiivisen maailman faktoja, usein joko jättämällä entiset faktat huomiotta tai selittämällä faktat myöhemmin toisella tavalla – esimerkiksi jonkin hahmon kuolema paljastuu myöhemmin lavastukseksi.
- Retroactive continuity—forkortet retcon—betyder at man, på grund af to modsigende udgivelser, finder på en løsning til probelemet. Ændringen i sig selv kaldes retcon, mens det at skrive og udgive et retcom kaldes "retconning." Da George Lucas genudgav den originale Star Wars trilogi lavede han flere ændringer der fik dem til at passe bedre sammen Prequel Trilogien og andre nyere udgivelser. Mange fans ser genudgivelsen som en retcon.
- A retcon (a portmanteau of "retroactive continuity") is the alteration of previously established facts in a fictional work. Retcons are done for many reasons, including the accommodation of sequels or further derivative works in a series, wherein newer authors or creators want to revise the in-story history to allow a course of events that would not have been possible in the story's original continuity. Other reasons might be the reintroduction of popular characters, resolution of errors in chronology, the updating of a familiar series for modern audiences, or simplification of an excessively complex continuity structure.
- Retcon is an abbreviation for "retroactive continuity", and refers to instances in fiction in which known facts are revealed to have actually been something entirely different all along. In general, a retcon does not refer to elaboration on a backstory (even when that changes the player's or reader's perspective on the subject), but to retroactive changes to concretely established facts. Instances of retcons in White Wolf fiction include:
- A side-effect of the pill was induced unconsciousness, though it took a while for this to occur. (TV: Everything Changes) Retcon appeared capable of erasing selective memories, or implanting false memories. When given to the party following alien disruption of the wedding of Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams, it did not result in a large group of people forgetting that Gwen and Rhys were married. However, Jack said it was LV 6 Retcon, implying different levels of retcon invoked a different effect. (TV: Something Borrowed) In particular, Level 6 Retcon had a peculiar effect if mixed with champagne, causing a brief boost in activity before enducing sleep.
- Retroactive continuity—commonly contracted to the portmanteau word retcon—refers to deliberately changing previously established facts in a work of serial fiction. The change itself is referred to as a retcon, and the act of writing and publishing a retcon is called "retconning." Although the concept is far older, the term "retroactive continuity" was popularized in 1983 by DC Comics writer Roy Thomas, and the shortened form "retcon" by Usenet in the late '80s.
- A Retcon is information given after a product's release that further explains something about that release or attempts to explain plot holes (which sometimes contradicts with the information within the release itself). A retcon is usually found in sequels, but can sometimes be given by companies as an explination for plot holes. An example of a retcon in the Myst series is Richard A. Watson's explination of Trap Books. In an e-mail written to fans, he explains that Trap Books cannot be created by the D'ni, as they are not making worlds with The Art but rather linking to them. He further states that the trap books in Myst (which hold Sirrus and Achenar) as well as Gehn's trap book from Riven do not function as the games would have you believe but rather trap the users in Prison ages. He sta

- A retcon (short for retroactive continuity) is a retroactive alteration in the official lore of a series of works of fiction. These changes can either be:
* Additional backstory to explain and expand upon present circumstances. OR
* Historical facts which are rewritten and are meant to be taken as having always been that way.
- Retroactive continuity, or retcon for short, is a new piece of information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events. In regards to the Metal Gear series, a retcon is a situation in which the storyline of a new game explains or changes an event from a previous one, or attaches a new significance to it.
- Retcon (Retroactive Continuity) : Definition : Where a subsequent story or sequel (or even interviews from authors) reveals additional information about characters or story events which supposedly took place in the earlier work, usually changing the understanding or facts about what happened. This can include complete contradictions which are not compatible with the previous writing. So this MMORPG (whenever it is made) will be able to legitimately 'Retcon' all those (in this case to correct illogical/lazy conflicts, and move forward and enhance the story). --- --- --- --- --- . . .
- "Retcon" (short for "retro-active continuity") is a term used in fiction for a piece of information that is included as a way to address an apparent continuity error or inconsistency. Retcons are common-place in long-running fictional universes (such as comic books and popular series of novels and television shows). Retcons can sometimes be used to address continuity errors, though there are several instances throughout the history of the Dick Tracy comic strip where continuity cannot easily be reconciled.
- Retcon stands for retroactive continuity. A retcon is what happens when canon from earlier in the work is changed later on, and the new information renders the old canon uncanonical. Sometimes, this is done with constructive intentions, such as correcting or consolidating canon material written by different individuals, or to fix a technical error made earlier in a work. Other times, it is done in the interests of extending a television show or anime by artificially prolonging the plot, or simply because the creators may decide to ignore an aspect of a canon when they create more. The retcon may be ambiguous (which leads to a lot of arguing in the fanbase) or it may be very clearly defined in the canon or even stated outright to overwrite previous material by the creators.
- Retroactive continuity, or retcon for short, is the alteration of previously established facts in the continuity of a fictional work. There are various motivations for retconning. The changes may occur to accommodate Sequels or derivative works, allowing newer authors or creators to revise the diegetic (in-story) history to include a course of events that would not have been possible in the story's original continuity. Retcons allow for authors to reintroduce popular characters and resolve errors in chronology.
