==Canon==
Currently, the wiki treats everything in the comic as well as Xan's public statements on social media as equally canon. When I asked Xan on Discord whether citing her social media posts was appropriate, she said she didn't mind me citing them, but that some of the things she says outside of the comic are things she hasn't firmly decided on yet. In the future, I plan to [[Template:SemiCanon|implement a "semi-canon"]] template similar to [https://zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/Template:Ambig the one on Zelda Wiki].
All cited social media posts should be archived. Social media posts in a format that cannot be archived, such as Discord messages or Mastodon direct messages, cannot be cited. All references to archive.is or archive.ph [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_archive.today#Archive.today_compared_to_.is,_.li,_.fo,_.ph,_.vn_and_.md should be changed to archive.today].▼
If Xan revises and republishes some pages of the comic, only the newest revision is considered canon. So far, this has only occured once: when Xan modified Chapter 4, Page 21 for the book release to remove [[Kyndley]]'s title. Hence, the title "[[Overseer]]" for Kyndley is no longer canon<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/03/18/chapter-4-page-21/</ref><ref>https://mastodon.lol/@comicsbyxan/109429358958569412</ref><ref>https://archive.today/d3nii</ref><ref>https://mastodon.lol/@comicsbyxan/109436552863220387</ref><ref>https://archive.today/Rx1U1</ref>.
===Social Media Posts===
▲All cited social media posts should be archived. Social media posts in a format that cannot be archived, such as Discord messages or Mastodon direct messages, cannot be cited. All references to archive.is or archive.ph [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_archive.today#Archive.today_compared_to_.is,_.li,_.fo,_.ph,_.vn_and_.md should be changed to archive.today].
On 2023 June 30, [https://archive.today/gvV0A Twitter made it so that users without an account cannot view any tweets], and in the process they broke nitter. Hence, no tweets after this date can be archived or cited unless Twitter rolls back the change. <s>As of 2023-07-10, it appears to be fixed, so tweets can once again be archived.</s> On 2023 August 15, Twitter broke it again<ref>https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/983</ref>.
