It can.

The Star Trek folks have a different way of defining canon that takes into account the various novels and extraneous materials produced outside of the show itself.

The Star Wars folks just had to wipe entire decades of material from their canon because the people who own the rights to the franchise told them that all that material not canon anymore.

The folks with Teen Wolf don't seem to care too much about the fans understanding canon at this point. They seem more interested in churning out the episodes.

In my interactions with Jeff, it seems he sees canon as a reflective matter. It seems, to him, cannon is not set until everything is said and done and the show's over. This is mainly due to the fact that the writers don't want to be locked in by a monolithic interpretation of prior events so that they can write new events unconstrained.

With that in mind - Teen Wolf Wikia keeps a very fluid, observational, canon system in which we simply document what happens on the show.

This gives fans the basic information without interpretation.

Everything we do is with the full knowledge that our understanding of the canon is incomplete and that subsequent events could further inform or alter our previous understanding.
