Meta, short for metatext or metatextual, refers to self-referential commentative text. Meta, when used across this encyclopedia, refers to articles, notes, or references across the encyclopedia with have to do with non-canon material.
Meta pages serve as repositories of non-canon information regarding the encyclopedia, including writing guidelines for pages, how pages like stubs work, and how information in the encyclopedia is allowed to be used. For anyone looking to help contribute to the encyclopedia it is highly recommended that the meta pages are read and appreciated that they are followed.
This page in particular is meant to serve as a starting place for those looking to explore how the encyclopedia works, what its meant for, how to use it, and how to help if you so wish!
Meta
This is a meta callout. These are uncommon throughout the encyclopedia but serve to provide non-canon information on some subjects.
Canon
Commonly when meta pages are referenced you will see canon mentioned. Canon is text that can be considered true within the setting, text that describes the setting with authoritative fact on the subject. In the case of this encyclopedia, canon refers to text written by characters within the setting. Non-canon text is text that is not part of the in-setting encyclopedia but nevertheless provides important information regarding the encyclopedia.

Contribution
The Encyclopedia Mysenvaria, while my own creative work, welcomes contribution in all forms! All contributions are overseen by myself, to ensure they fit with the creative vision of the project.
