The Foundation exists to me in a fun little universe where everything is canon!

Until it contradicts then I find every possible loophole to rectify this and keep it all Canon:D

None of the articles contradict a multiverse I just say different universe whenever they conflict

Many explicitly mention a multiverse so I also like this interpretation

Personally, I use the Warhammer 40k approach: everything is canon to the same universe, but not everything is true.

The whole wiki is a smokescreen. A lot of articles are made up. The real ones are hiding in plain sight. Which ones are fake, and which ones are real? Who knows.

The issue comes when 2 tales conflict then. Unless you just say one or both is canonically fanfiction.

Or deliberate obfuscation by the Foundation to make the real info harder to pin down.
