| 1 | Discontinuity is when something that was a part of the continuity is no longer regarded or completely changed. There are a number of reasons for this happening (fixing a PlotHole, changing it to cater to the fans, etc.) and whether or not the changes are canon depends on the person. Discontinuity is separated into three categories: |

| 4 | * AlternateContinuity: When adaptations are treated as their own separate universe. |
| 5 | * CanonDiscontinuity: Where the creators decide to write off something as no longer existing. |
| 6 | * FanonDiscontinuity: Where the fans want to pretend something doesn't exist. |
| 7 | * NegativeContinuity: Where nothing sticks even within a single series. |
