'''Canon''' is traditionally a biblical term for what is accepted within the Christian faith. In gaming terms it means that a piece of fact usually associated with [[lore]] is officially supported by the creators of the lore/game.
__TOC__
==Canon in Diablo==
For example, [[Diablo I]] had an expansion called [[Diablo I: Hellfire]], which is an official expansion, but not made by Blizzard. The [[D3 Team]] has chosen to exclude this official expansion from the ''canon'' part of the Diablo lore, so anything you read or did in the expansion material never happened.
Information that IS canon can also be [[retcon]]ned, to become outdated, and no longer canon.
==Non-Canon Information==
DiabloWiki is archiving both canon and non-canon lore, but will clearly mark if a part of the material here is not canon.
===Examples===
Here are a few examples of content on DiabloWiki that is NOT canon.
* [[Diablo I: Hellfire]]
* [[Diablo I: Hellfire Manual]]
* [[Fan class]]es
* [[Fan art]]
* [[Fan fiction]]
