Basically, is considered "canon" anything put into a medium by their author, am I correct ? Or are there any more than that ?
Cannon is whatever the author (or another figure of ownership/authority) says really happened in the story.
You can have an author who writes noncannon sidestories for fun, or a company that says half of what an author wrote is now noncannon so they have more creative space in the author's world, etc.

Something being cannon or not doesn't stop the stories from having been told, or stop cannon stories from referencing/being built off of noncannon ones.
