Firstly, there is a huge difference between fanfiction and novels that were licensed lol.

Also, as for the OFFICIAL reason that it's canon (and not my personal opinions as it was in the other post lol) is because MGM themselves declared it as canon. The books literally go through extensive reviewal and approval processes by MGM.

MGM owns the franchise so THEY decide what's canon and what isn't. And the books are canon. @Cubbyman1 That's a fact. Not an opinion. Also, they could at any time be removed from canon, should MGM approve shows that retcon it of course, but for NOW it is canon.

(Btw, @Dragonfly82 sorry, but I'm not an admin of this specific wiki. My name does show up on the dropdown list of featured users since I have done a lot of work editing and page adding, and remain active. So I got that going for me at least. lol But, yeah, I never tried to ask Thurgood for admin controls or anything.)

@McKayRulez

Just saying, if by any means, would you by against if I recommend you to the admins?

Ok thank you McKayRulez·. this helps me a lot more than you know. i didn't know that MGM actually licensed it, so sorry about this dragging your name through the imaginary mud lol,

i just needed to know what the actual facts were on this matter, now i can go and read the novels and accept them as actual episodes and lore of the show and not fanfiction.

I still think there needs to be an disclaimer of some kind telling others when they bring up information from the novels as not everyone knows of them or has even read them.

I know someone talked about the SGU comic being cannon, but i could not accept that either, firstly i don't like comics i mean reading them, i would rather they just told the story without the art style getting in the way of the story telling. but that's just me. and i chose not to read that comic for that reason as it was hard to understand and follow the story within comic form.

It would be cool if someone were to get the information from the comic and just do the story through text, it just makes it easier to consume for the reader and less of an chore when getting confused in where the story was going because of distractions within the comic that confuses the reader.

Oh, that's nice of you. I don't mind. Thank you. :)

A little off topic. But I'm trying to add an photo for my avitar and trying to change my username, but I haven't been successful in figuring it out.

Is there some kind of special thing I need to do in order to make these changes? Previous attempts have failed as I would always get some weird error and it would not save any of my changes.

@Cubbyman1

To have a username to be changed go and read this. https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Changing_your_username

@McKayRulez

I will go and ask now.

Ah, that's fine lol. They really were opinions that were being placed at you, until the clarification. lol. As for the disclaimer, at least for the wiki, things are cited with the book cites. They are given there at the end of the paragraph, but I'd understand if that might annoy you if it wasn't a paragraph solely on book info and was mixed with multiple different sources both show and book.

If there are any comic questions you'd wish to know about or think something needs a page, feel free to ask me!

As for your avatar question, what does the error say specifically?

To change your username you need to use the user special tool.

@Dragonfly82 Thank you!

McKayrules.

I think I figured out how to do it while using the app. I was having significant issues when I was on the website trying to change things. I'm not used to using wikis LOL they have a very odd structure to them but it's nice when it comes to hyperlinks the branch into other hyperlinks.

I can't remember what the error said. But it did give me a very odd explanation from what I can remember.
