- Due to the ambiguous ending of the episode Tweek X Craig, fans were left debating whether or not the two really got together for real or were just faking like they were earlier that episode. The Season 19 Bluray commentary, Matt and Trey have addressed Craig and Tweek as a gay couple , which is moreso present in Put it Down.
- On Tumblr, when responding to a photo post involving Kyle saying “But the point is, there?s nothing about it that means Tweek and Craig are actually gay at all.”, the Official South Park blog responded, “Are you SURE?” , implying that they actually do feel for each other. The blog also posted a gif from “Tweek x Craig” and tagged it with “creek is canon”.
Something else to consider is that, often, particularly when it comes to comedy shows, creators may make statements that are meant as jokes, or at least, not meant to be taken seriously. It may sometimes be difficult for people to tell if certain creators are making a genuine statement of canon or not. So, be careful when relying on things like humorous DVD commentaries and interviews on comedic talk shows for confirmation about something.

at their word: before season 3, in a long list of things we wouldn’t see, they named “Desmond running naked through the jungle.” Which did show up. - D.C. Fontana is also considered a Trek creator. She wrote much of the continuity for TOS including Spock’s background, plus several episodes. Her animated-series episode Yesteryear is generally regarded as canon (reinforced by the fact that some of the events of Yesteryear are directly referenced in TNG episode “Unification, Part 1”, and later the city of ShiKahr is seen in both Star Trek: Enterprise and the CGI-remastered version of the TOS episode “Amok Time”). Her novel Vulcan’s Glory, is accepted as canon by many fans, but officially it is not.

- The card Time Vault. For many years, Wizards of the Coast had evoked errata to curb card power and keep what were considered the ‘functional intent’ cards in place. After sweeping cleanup of power controlling errata on other cards, Time Vault continued to suffer with such errata under the claim that it was the functional intent of the card. Eventually, a player was able to address Richard Garfield, creator of Magic, about the card. Garfield confirmed the card was supposed to function as it was originally printed. The errata was fully undone shortly afterwards.
