Canon Discontinuity/Web Original

Examples of Canon Discontinuity in Web Original works include:

Serris says that the rebooted Furtopia RP is not part of the Darwin's Soldiers canon and it never will be.
In perhaps the only example of this happening in-universe, the characters of PRIMARCHS delete 80 chapters of their own story in order to defeat the Plot Hole.
A weird example is Raocow, who in many of his old videos would always say "That was a demo" whenever he made a mistake and immediately fix it using rewinds or savestates. He has recently stopped using savestates as much, to the point that he sometimes subverts it by saying "That totally happened" when he screws up.
Weirdly subverted in The Church of Blow, where the protagonist of the second series is an actor trying to make a viral youtube video. Then he starred in the Real Life viral video "Youtube is my Life", which the character is certain does not exist.
Sometimes occurs, oddly enough, in Survival of the Fittest. Sometimes a mod or handler declares a scene (mostly in pre-game or a character's backstory) as non-canon, for whatever reason. Two examples of scenes declared non-canon by a mod include a thread in v1 where a rejected character actually showed up on the island and randomly killed someone, and a scene in v4 pre-game where a character was prostituting herself out for drugs, with the other character having an implausible amount of drugs on him.
A small group of administrators at Wikipedia have "oversight" abilities, allowing them to restrict the contents of a past edit so that only other administrators, or other oversighters, can see what was removed (usually for libel or privacy reasons). In extreme cases, oversighters can remove the edit from the history, so that only they can tell it was even made in the first place
