The first is trying to define the term, and is not particularly overseen by the wiki's administrative staff. It has no bearing on this discussion whatsoever.

The second is the practical usage of canon on the wiki, and it's what we're talking about. The only operational definition the wiki has about canon is, "it is something which does not exist".

Since you have referenced the article canon as somehow representing what the wiki believes about canon, it may be that admin need to lock that article down and make it more reflective of T:CAN. I dunno. Neither I nor any other admin have felt particularly bound, in a policy sense, to what the page canon says.
