I've recently observed a bit of discrepancy in opinion among users about what should be regarded as official canon, and what should be non-canon. I thought it may be beneficial to clear up some of this stuff.

Issues of debate include:
 * Episodes - "Bottomless Pit!" and "Little Gift Shop of Horrors" are dominated by made-up stories, but some actual events happen between them. Should we categorize these entire episodes as non-canon?
 * Shorts - technically not full episodes, and most of them were of filmed series and TV shows that may have been scripted in-universe.
 * Games and Books - like the shorts, they aren't full episodes. Some games, like Rumble's Revenge, are scripted video games, as explicitly stated in-universe.

So, should we categorize these as being part of the main continuity, or as separate ones?

In my opinion, all information relating to made-up stories and the like should be grouped as non-canon, as well as the media dominated by such content. Shorts, games, and books, though, contain feasible information (as far as Gravity Falls is concerned, anyways).

What does everyone think?
