→Why the term "Canon" or "Canonicity" is problematic
*the immense wealth of available publications stretching back to the 1980s across several editions of the [[Warhammer 40,000]] (and related) games
*[[Games Workshop]] almost never officially disowning any of the previously published material
*elements that by some are considered [[Wikipedia:Retroactive continuity|retcons]] or [[Wikipedia:Reboot (fiction)|reboots]], although these terms strictly speaking do not apply to [[Games Workshop]]'s modus operandi
*rewriting parts of older background
*dropping parts of older background (explicitly or implicitly)
