Wow Wikia Editor, thank you for having paid such close attention to this. :P.

For those that don't know, I covered these inconsistencies before here.

I also wrote the article Granada War, which should serve as a good example of how we've reconciled the film and the game. (Mind you guys, I did take real-world information not in AC sources for the first segments of the war in an effort to flesh out the article, a controversial method it seems administrators are a bit divided and unsure about after asking them).

I really think that the inconsistencies mainly have more to do with the oddness of Ezio not being involved in Aguilar's mission to save Ahmed or to retrieve the Apple of Eden, but as iffy as that is, it's not impossible that circumstances meant that Ezio had to be elsewhere at those exact moments or there were some disconnect in communication between the two groups.

I also want to point out that the more recent game Assassin's Creed: Identity does figure in Raphael Sánchez in a prominent role in the backstory. However, this game is of dubious canonicity since its timeline is all messed up and contradictory, but the particular segment concerning Raphael doesn't contradict anything. (The only issue with it is that Raphael seems to be an idiot beyond possibility, what with being tricked into training a group of elite Templars for 5 years xD).

Luis de Santángel is also mentioned in a Contract mission linking Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, where the Assassins apprentices of Ezio have to deal with the aftermath of his death since he was their main source of information regarding Isabella.

I'd be very loathe to excise Discovery. It would really make things sloppy for us, I think. It's been well-integrated into the lore before the film.

I know Master Sima Yi said that this might indicate that Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles is also non-canon, but aside from Adha being mentioned in Assassin's Creed, his codex in Assassin's Creed II, and in Assassin's Creed: Memories, certain points in that game's plot are explicitly recalled in Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade, such as the poison plot at the Siege of Acre. I know we haven't received word of Altaïr's Chronicles canonicity yet, but I think it might turn out to be a similar case, where we should remember that these games actually have been integrated into the overall lore more than we might think or Ubisoft might remember.
