==What is a Canon?==
The Backrooms are and always will be a mystery at large, despite the amount of documentation and research the wiki has. However, with the increasing numbers of theories, speculations eventually form into concrete beliefs. Each individual has their own interpretation of the Backrooms, thus determining what is canon, according to their opinion.
It must be stressed that canons are not inherently self-contained. A page belonging to a specific canon does not mean it doesn't exist outside its respective canon; it may still be part of the general lore. While we open ourselves and welcome everyone to contribute to the community, naturally, we only accept those that pass our standard of quality. As per the page rules, any pages that do not fulfill the necessary standard will either be improved or deleted. By following the same rule, only canons that pass our quality standards may be added to this page. As more will be added in the future, please assist in keeping this page updated. Anyone is allowed to insert their canons into this list, assuming they have a minimum of 5 pages — not including the canon's hub — which pass the quality standards.

On the planes of existence, where The Backrooms and Frontrooms coexisted in peace and harmony, a prophecy was whispered across all corners of time and space. These whispers spoke of a delicate balance between true and false reality, a delicate dance of mystery and enigma. This prophecy was known, as the Armaverse.
I am not a new being, oblivious to the extent that reality has been twisted in incomprehensible ways. I was here before this all happened, and I will remain here as the universe dissolves further into madness.
My time will come soon. But first, let me tell one final story. A story of forgotten heroes, useless martyrs, and the struggle to survive an unstoppable force.
Let's start at the beginning.
…or should I say the end?
Humans are interesting anomalies. The human experience is characterized by what each human being experiences on a mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, and social level. This experience shapes your perception of reality. The three aspects of the human experience that will be explored in this 'canon' are following: 
#The strong desire to explore the unknown and unfamiliar.
#To question one's place in reality.
#Survival.
Human exploration is often a rewarding experience as it helps you grow and develop as people, enrich your lives, expose you to new people and ideas, etc. Humans questioning their place, in reality, gave birth to religion, psychology, philosophy, science, etc., to help you understand what it means to be human and understand the world around you. The human will to survive and adapt is the reason humans as a species have flourished and evolved to populate almost every corner of The Frontrooms.
Human discovery of The Backrooms has not been so forgiven.
The basis for this narrative is the existence of the entities known as the Children of the Empyrean Sea, and its most powerful member, the Exalted One, divinities born from the primordial chaos outside the known cosmos. The Exalted One, in particular, is crucial—its exploits eventually leading to the creation of the Backrooms in its entirety… or is that the real story? This canon, aside from any content which directly conflicts with the narrative of the verse, follows the Backrooms Unrestricted Canon, where every single level, tale, or entity is fair game—aside from joke pages, of course. This is a high-quality canon, meaning that all entries must pass a certain level of quality (Almost no SPaG errors, unique concept, good formatting, compelling writing, etc.).
The Backrooms is a messy place where many wanderers are unfortunately no-clipped. For them, dealing with anomalies, entities, and levels is a daily struggle.
What if something worse happened than those who live in the Backrooms? These came from beyond its borders from these multiple layers of this reality, and they are coming.
Insufferable pasts.
Liminal nightmares.
Growing civilizations.
Mythical gods.
Welcome to the world of Liminality.
===Lostverse===
This canon holds a story of the very beginning of the Backrooms, a story of when the Backrooms didn't exist at all. At that time, two extremely powerful gods Peter Quinn and Benev Quinn who were brothers decided that they were done with The Frontrooms, and then proceeded to create a new universe using parts of the already existing four dimensions: The Frontrooms, The Void, The Whole, and The Broken. They succeeded and succesfully created The Backrooms as the fifth dimension. After a while, Peter started to make entities who would inhabit the numerous areas of The Backrooms. Benev also made several anomalous objects. After a while, Peter decided to make a way for humans to enter the new dimension, which Benev was against. Peter refused to listen to his brother and went on to create noclipping. This lead to many humans accidentally getting transported to The Backrooms and suffering horrible fates under the dangerous levels and deadly entities. This lead to Benev separating himself from Peter, which resulted in Peter changing his surname to Sand. They then went on their own ways, causing severe conflict within the confines of The Backrooms.
This canon is partly inspired by The Behavioral Suite. Also this is Snatcher's first canon and currently only canon.
The Midnight Train is a canon which explores societal aspects and the human psychology, including emotions. There will be several passengers, some will stay, some will leave.The only constants are you, the Conductor and the train. This canon explores topics similar to the Behavioural Suite and is inspired by it.
February 2nd, 2007
A mysterious substance arose to the surface of the Earth which people now call "The Void", humans panicked and were absorbed by the gooey substance as it continued to rise, consuming every galaxy in its path. No matter how much terrestrial life was in space, no matter how much they struggled to stay alive, it kept absorbing. Soon, it had completely absorbed space and time itself, but a powerful being capable of omnipotent powers wanted to create a horrifying chamber for the terrestrial life that remained. So, the being created the Backrooms, a dimension of infinite liminal spaces that come in many different forms created by pure evil as some sort of endless nightmare, whilst The Frontrooms, was sucked away. Humans who arrive here cannot escape, due to the mysterious substance that continues to conquer space to this day. The mysterious being found out that the people that had been trapped in the dimension it created were slowly adapting, so it added more terrifying, unexplained places that was categorized as The Boundaries. Little did the being know, there was a flaw in the system, a flaw that could restore space and mankind, a flaw deeply rooted in The Boundaries, however, it is yet to be found.
The Normalverse is the label for Normal's canon for the Backrooms. The Normalverse is a more intense canon of the Backrooms than most canons, as it features intensity, torture, crazy incidents, and omnipotent characters as well.
In 2016, the Flicker changed everything. With every level plunged into darkness, one group that particularly suffered losses was the M.E.G, with them losing over 60% of their personnel.
Additionally, the Flicker came along with something worse. A retroactive restructuring of reality resulted in the destruction of every level beyond Levels 1000 and -1000, and rendered Level 11 uninhabitable.
So when the meggies were at their highest point of crisis, what did they do?
They scaled down.
Multiple colonies were closed, people were transferred to other projects, and the M.E.G had to become less strict to maintain efficiency. Things calmed down, and approximately 3 years passed without anything that eventful happening.
...But not all was well.
Base Alpha is constantly on the brink of insanity. There's always the felling of something more to the story, always that misplaced paranoia that keeps you looking behind your back.
If you start to feel like you're being followed, you're right. If you start to remember things that don't exist, forget them before you're next. If you start to question things, stay quiet.
Soon, Project Threshold will begin to go into action. A new initiative to restore the M.E.G's strength, and eventually exceed even their former glory.
Predictably, this plan went very, very wrong.
HI! My name's Noelle Snyder, but my big brother Flann calls me Nook!
This is my journal where I write and draw stuff! I haven't used this thing a lot but ever since Flann and I got into this place called "The Backrooms", I've been using it more than I did back home! To add on top of that, Flann and I have been on some pretty wacky adventures (which I usually write about), with a lot of them being scary for the most part.
=The Wanderer's Toolbox= 
There is something to be said about a record. As long as it survives, so does the memory of you and all that follow you. Welcome to The Wanderer's Toolbox Canon. Here is a collection of stories written by wanderers, whether by accident or not, have accepted the calling to try and make the most out of their experience in the backrooms and write down everything they see. They will have moments of great excitement, even happiness, but they will also have hardships and turmoil. As you read these stories, remember who they are, and who they were; after all, they so desperately wish to not be forgotten. 
 The Z.E.T.A. Storyline 
 Warning: Pages in this canon have really MORBID subject matters.
For those unaware, here is a summary without spoiling anything: The main focus of this canon is not some special interpretation of the Backrooms but rather the lore of the criminal group known as Z.E.T.A. and their influence. This criminal group initially started off as an entity research group however they adopted the idea that there is no escape from the Backrooms and the only creatures surviving are entities. Soon they met other groups and they too shared this idea, as a result this became a large collaboration of various organisations under the name Z.E.T.A. to turn every single human into entities that can survive the Backrooms. Of course tests were made.
Later, groups such as B.I.F., Backroom Colonists and M.E.G. learned of Z.E.T.A. and brought to light their existence and crimes. Z.E.T.A. will do everything they can to stop anyone from stopping their plans from within the shadows of the unknown.
