Canon[]

The following games are canon: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
In case of conflicting information, newer information overrides old information
Pre-release builds are not canon, although information from them should be added to the articles under an appropriate heading
Cut content is not canon, unless otherwise confirmed (e.g. cats)
Modifications such as Lost Alpha or Anomaly are never to be considered canon, since they're fan works not sanctioned by GSC Game World.

Information about the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe available from other sources (websites, books, comics, interviews) can be considered canon, if it is recognized and/or sanctioned by GSC Game World

These are just guidelines for usual cases. Cases in which consensus cannot be reached should be settled by administrators.
