''Everything that is an element of the whole package immediately encompassing the [[{{canon}} text]] and not part of the text itself.''

In other words, all that stuff that isn't a part of the show/movie/story itself, but still comes with it. The stuff on the box, the stuff that comes before the show/movie, etc.
