On the wiki, we accept only the episodes as canon. then any mention of the shorts should be deleted from Dipper's or Mabel's page, since they are not canon. And there should be special mentions in some episodes that are connected to the shorts like "The Hide-Behind page reappearcs, even though it is not canon and should not exist in the show" or "A picture of the Lefty Robot is seen in this episode, which makes no sense, since it does not exist." See how stupid this is?

They shouldn't be deleted, it should be clear what comes from the shorts and what comes from the episodes. They are separate bodies of material. If "separate" means one group is non-canon, what's stopping one from simply declaring the shorts to be canon instead of the episodes?

Regardless, the majority of users seems to agree that all the shorts should be regarded as canon.
