There are many novels, comics, role playing games and other works set in this universe, meaning they use the characters and elements of the ''Stargate'' universe as seen in the ''SG-1''/''Atlantis''/''Universe'' canon to create storylines. According to [https://www.gateworld.net/wiki/Stargate_Canon the GateWorld Omnipedia], even if there is a group who checks all the licensed media tie-ins to fit in the ''Stargate'' universe, they are considered as an "extended universe". Thus, Semantic Stargate Wiki '''DOES NOT''' recognize any games, novels, comics, RPGs, and other stuff as canon. Semantic Stargate Wiki considers them as a [[separate continuity]].

			== "Canon" and "Non-Canon" ==
⚫	== List of official ''Stargate'' products considered as canon in ~~Stargate Wiki~~ ==

			In science-fiction works, the term '''"canon"''' describes characters, events, and locales that are generated, recognized officially by the creators of the fictional universe, and shown to an audience in the context of a dramatized or written story. The term was originally a term used to differentiate heretical from accepted scripture in the [[wikipedia:Babylon :Roman Catholic Church\|Catholic Church]].

			A '''"non-canonical"''' story, in comparison, is not considered an official element of the storyline in a particular work of fiction, commonly a series of novels of a television program.

			For fans of the work, identifying canonical stories, characters and the like can reduce the level of confusion in keeping track of storylines. Determining whether an officially-licensed work is canonical or not is often a point of debate for many fans of a show or story. Aside from that, the distinction is mainly important for the shows' writers who need to know what source material to use and can't be expected to know the details of dozens or possibly hundreds of novels.

Semantic Stargate Wiki considers them as a [[separate continuity]]. See [[SG:Jihad]] for more details.

== List of official ''Stargate'' products considered as canon in Stargate Wiki ==

The following are considered as canon in this wiki:

* ''[[Stargate (movie)|Stargate]]'', the movie which originated the franchise (except [[#Stargate, the movie canon|some details shown below]]),
* All ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' episodes, including deleted scenes and DVD commentaries,
* ''[[Stargate: The Ark of Truth]]'' and ''[[Stargate: Continuum]]'', including deleted scenes and DVD commentaries,
* All ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' episodes, including deleted scenes and DVD commentaries,
* All ''[[Stargate Universe]]'' episodes, including deleted scenes and DVD commentaries,
* All [[Kino webisodes]].

All the rest, i.e. ''[[Stargate Infinity]]'', all novels adapted from the movie or the series, the [[RPG]], comics, games, audiobooks, etc. '''ARE NOT''' part of the canon and shall not be included in "canon" articles. This stuff must be part of separate articles with the {{tl|Separate continuity}} tag in order to avoid confusion.

==Complications within the series==

===Internal contradictions===

There are some elements of the series that are considered to be inconsistencies and therefore not exactly canon. For example, in the scene from the ''SG-1'' episode "[[Episode:Solitudes|Solitudes]]" where [[P4A-771]] is being dialed from the [[SGC]], archive footage of the dialing computer was reused, so the gate address depicted is actually that of [[Abydos]]. Since it would be impossible for Abydos and P4A-771 to have the same gate address, the address portrayed in the episode must be inaccurate, despite the fact "Solitudes" is part of the official ''SG-1''/''Atlantis''/''Universe'' canon. However these kinds of mistakes are generally considered excusable and understandable as they mostly serve to lower production costs.

=== Time travel ===

{{Main article|Alternate timeline}}
On more than one occasion, the ''SG-1''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s narrative has followed characters jumping backwards in time, effectively creating a new timeline in which history has been changed by their presence. Thus, there are technically six distinct timelines in which major portions of the series take place: one from ''[[Stargate (movie)|Stargate]]'' to the beginning of [[Episode:Moebius, Part 1|"Moebius", Part 1]], a second from "Moebius" to "[[Episode:The Last Man|The Last Man]]", third from "The Last Man" to "[[Episode:Time|Time]]", and two within "Time", with the fifth from "Time" to "[[Episode:Twin Destinies|Twin Destinies]]", and the sixth during "Twin Destinies" and after. The focus of this wiki is the post-"Twin Destinies" timeline, as it's the setting of the series as of 2010 (see [[Help:Timeline]]); however, articles generally assume that this timeline is identical to the previous five, except where explicitly shown otherwise.

Similarly, ''[[Stargate: Continuum]]'' features a time-travel story that creates yet another 2 timelines, which brings the grand total of timelines to eight.

Alternate timelines created through time travel are distinct from the alternate realities accessible through a [[quantum mirror]] or similar technology, which exist simultaneously with one another in the same timeline.

==Other ''Stargate'' universes==

===[[Stargate (movie)|''Stargate'', the movie]] canon===
[[File:Strudel.jpg|thumb|right|The "strudel," as it is called by [[Roland Emmerich]], does not exist in the series.]]
This is the universe depicted in the [[1994]] science-fiction film ''Stargate''. [[Bill McCay]]'s ''Stargate'' novels and the [[Entity Comics]] are set in this universe, but the canon status of these materials for this timeline remains unclear.

The physical appearances of many characters, notably [[Jack O'Neill]], [[Catherine Langford]] and [[Ferretti]], are radically different in this universe, due to them being played by different actors. Other differences are listed below:

| Two Guards attempted to return through the Stargate after it was buried. They were transported into the stone, instantly fossilizing them.

| Goa'uld are guarded by [[Jaffa]], which apparently do not exist in the movie's universe.
|-
| --
| According to the series, Goa'uld motherships have shields that prevent ring transporters from working, making it seem rather foolish for Ra to keep the shields down when he would know the Jaffa he had sent down had been killed. Of course, this could be attributed to his Goa'uld arrogance.
|-
| The symbols on Abydos's gate are completely different from those on Earth's.
| All gates in the Milky Way use a standard set of symbols, except for the point of origin.

=== ''[[Stargate Infinity|Infinity]]'' universe ===

This is the universe depicted in ''[[Stargate Infinity]]'', which is '''based '''on the universes depicted in ''Stargate'' and ''Stargate SG-1''. ''Infinity'' is not considered as canon and is thus a separate continuity.

==== Differences between the ''SG-1''/''Atlantis''/''Universe and the ''Infinity'' universe'' ====

*The [[unstable vortex]] does not annihilate whatever it comes into contact with.
*The [[Ancients]] are winged, telepathic creatures.
*The [[Stargate]]s only have eight [[chevron]]s.
