* Since the early '80's ''Doctor Who Programme Guide'' (which went through three editions), the Franchise/{{Whoniverse}} has had countless licensed and un-licensed examples. Online compedia include [[http://www.whoniverse.net The Whoniverse]], the no-longer-available-on-the-Web Outpost Gallifrey reference guides, [[http://www.drwhoguide.com The Doctor Who Guide]], the staggeringly detailed [[http://www.roo.weboftime.org "Rassilon, Omega, and that Other Guy"]] and the [[http://tardis.wikia.com TARDIS Data Core wiki]].

When the makers of a series can't be bothered to put together a proper compendium, you can always rely on the fans to do it for you. With typical obsessiveness, they will go through and document everything that is known about the series, and, on occasion, bind it together into a book. [[TheWikiRule Or a wiki]].

Online, unofficial web sites, [[TheWikiRule particularly Wikis]], have taken up the slack, with the Franchise/{{Trekverse}} Wiki, [[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Portal:Main Memory Alpha]] as the first example.

* Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} can be thought of as a Universe Concordance for RealLife.

** [[http://greenlantern.wikia.com/wiki/Green_Lantern_Wiki Green Lantern Wiki]]. Given the [[LongRunners long publication history]], LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, and [[ContinuitySnarl increasingly]] [[MythArc complicated]] [[CanonWelding mythology]], it's not surprising it has its own separate universe concordance!

* [[http://starwars.wikia.com Wookieepedia]], the ''StarWars'' wiki. Much more detailed than either printed Star Wars encyclopedias or the official online Star Wars Databank.

* ''Franchise/{{Touhou}}'' actually has an officially endorsed one: ''[[https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Strange_Creators_of_Outer_World Touhou Gairai Ihen ~ Strange Creators of Outside World]]''. It's a series of magazines containing introduction articles to ''Touhou'' and its characters, interviews with Creator/{{ZUN}} and Creator/TwilightFrontier, as well as various doujin artists. It also contain fancomics and chapters of ''Literature/TouhouKourindouCuriositiesOfLotusAsia''.

* Elyse A. Dickenson's ''The Forrester Papers'' is very probably the only complete documentation to ''[[Series.WarOfTheWorlds War of the Worlds]]'' ever written.

** And fiction as well, though that was not what its founders intended (at least not to such a degree.)
