Help:Used statements

A Canon entry (Item) is made of a series of statements, refering to other items or giving specific information. Some statement can have additional information in the form of a qualifier.

We list here all statements and their qualifiers used in the Canon timeline.You can click on each statement and qualifier to see more details. statements that expect an entry from a specific list refer also to this list.

organisers
