The games, live-action films and S.D. Perry novels are all within their own universe. It is preferred not to state that something in one of the main universes is non-canon because it does not appear in another. If this were acceptable, then many pages would need altering.
To combat this, the following guidelines are set:
- On "game universe" articles, information from the games is the main canonical source.
- Information from the Novels and films are allowed, but must be stated if they are. This is to avoid edit wars over information that contradicts the games. Insert {{Continuity/Novels}} or {{Continuity/Films}} to disambiguate them from the game universe. Note that the novels based on the films (ie. Resident Evil: Genesis) are still part of the film series and so must use the same template.
- Resident Evil Wikia does not tolerate fan fiction. If you wish to add fanfiction, keep it on your userpages.
