* ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'' has a confusing history with the concept of SharedUniverse. It started out as a SpinOff of ''Series/{{Titans}}'' but [[CanonDiscontinuity they eventually decided to discard this]] and made it it's own separate continuity with ''Series/{{Crisis on Infinite Earths|2019}}'' claiming that [[TheMultiverse Titans takes place on Earth-9 and Doom Patrol takes place on Earth-21]]. Doom Patrol then got it's own SpinOff in ''Series/DeadBoyDetectives2024'' but a ChannelHop from Creator/HBOMax to Creator/{{Netflix}} caused it to be {{Retool}}ed into a ''Series/TheSandman2022'' Spin-Off, with Death going from SheWhoMustNotBeSeen to being played by Creator/KirbyHowellBaptiste. The Sandman was not given a reality number in Crisis on Infinite Earths and generally [[WritingAroundTrademarks avoids Super-Hero stuff altogether]] so it's unclear [[BroadStrokes how or if the show will incorporate]] the BackDoorPilot.

** ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' somehow manages to have this [[ExaggeratedTrope with itself]]: the only definitely canonical section is the opening cutscene and the Last Story. Several events from different levels are referenced or hinted at in the Last Story but those events aren't all obtainable on a single run of the game, leaving what route through the game Shadow ''actually'' took ambiguous. Sega claims that the Pure Heroic path is canon, but that's debated by fans because of the aforementioned Last Way which implies several of the other routes happened.

** For a series-specific example, ''Anime/StreetFighterIVTheTiesThatBind.'' The OVA is marketed as a canonical prequel to the events of ''Street Fighter IV'', and is focused around the same plot points as the game (S.I.N.'s BLECE Project and the fighters they kidnapped to develop it), but its events are oddly disconnected from the narrative of ''IV'' itself. For instance, after C.

** ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' also falls under the category of maybe-canon-maybe-not. While its events don't contradict any of the other games (it takes place at the end of the timeline), the general view is that any game not made by Kojima is non-canon (while Kojima worked on it initially, the final game was made by Creator/PlatinumGames and barely resembles his original concept) and neither Kojima nor Konami have commented on its canonicity.

The book had a lot of information about the fates of characters from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' (which had been CutShort at the time) after [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Order 66]], but ''The Clone Wars'' later got a proper finale season that covered that same information. The overall details are similar to what ''Ahsoka'' claimed happened, [[BroadStrokes but also quite different]]; Ahsoka and Rex lead a siege against Darth Maul on Mandalore just before Order 66 happens (as the book said), but the battle is over by the time of the actual event and Ahsoka and Rex's escape plays out ''very'' differently, as does the subsequent [[FakingTheDead faking of their deaths]]. What this says about the canonicity of the rest of ''Ahsoka'' isn't clear.
