Galactic Crucibles:Continuity

Continuity is an important part of a shared universe. As it grows larger and as new authors continue to add to it, more than likely, inconsistencies will appear. This article will describe how we treat continuity here.

Canon
Unless an article is marked with either  or , then the article is considered canon. That is, you do not need to do anything special to earn any sort of "canon" status. However, the pitch system serves as a means of quality control. We want to make sure that your idea is sound and easy to integrate with.

Integration
The universe is a very big place - bigger than anyone can fathom. If your creation is self-enclosed and has no significant impact on the lore, then chances are, you will not run into continuity conflicts. If your creation is something that will impact multiple civilizations, then you must take the time to discuss your creation with the other authors.

Consistency
While we do want to ensure consistency, sometimes, it is easier to find ways to justify seemingly contradictory stories. This does not apply for articles or stories that depict the same event but with opposite outcomes - those types of inconsistencies must be fixed. Moreover, minor details such as certain lines of dialogue spoken can be ignored. This is because we treat the articles of this wiki similarly to a history text. The stone cold truth is unwritten, leaving it up to the authors to come up with their own interpretations.

Content articles here describe events as a historian might record it. There may be some biases or parts where the truth is twisted, but overall, the events are accurate. Stories here are treated as interpretations of events written on articles. That is, if you are writing a story, we highly recommend recording the events that occurred in it first. If you are worried about spoiling your story, the rest of us only need to know of anything that will impact other users' creations.
