WoT Blitz Lore Wiki:Canon policy

Most of the lore of WoTB is presumed to be canonical in the world in which it takes place. However, as Wargaming has not confirmed the canonicity of any of the lore it publishes, we must decide for ourselves what is canonical and what is non-canon.

Timeline
To define canonicity, we must first establish a timeline. The timeline appears to diverge from that of the real world sometime in the 1930s or the start of World War II. All real world events prior to WWII are presumed to be canon in the WoTB world unless otherwise confirmed to not be by an official source. Other post-WWII real world events may also be canon if they are specifically mentioned by an official source and do not contradict other elements of the timeline.

Primary canon
The following sources are to be considered primary canon. They cannot be overridden by secondary canon or below:
 * Wargaming feed posts writen in an in-universe perspective

Secondary canon
The following sources are to be considered secondary canon. They cannot be overridden by tertiary canon, but can be rendered non-canon if they contradict a primary canon source:
 * In-game descriptions

Tertiary canon
The following sources are to be considered tertiary canon. They can be considered non-canon if they contradict primary or secondary canon, but are still canon if they do not:
 * Real world events before World War II
 * Post-WWII real world events specifically mentioned in an official Wargaming source
 * Wargaming feed posts writen in an out-of-universe perspective
 * In-game events (if they are not too ridiculous)
 * Maps (these are presumed to represent a battle that took place somewhere in the WoTB timeline)
 * Other official sources.

General rule of thumb
The general rule of thumb is that if a piece of lore is too ridiculous to me canon, then it is non-canon. This generally applies to April Fools events.

Miscellaneous
Tanks that are researchable in-game are assumed to be in production for the Global Tank Competition.
