I think the most likely thing is that Bethesda will have what's called a "Bible" which lists the true history of The Elder Scrolls. (The same sort of thing is used for the Halo series). In this bible, all dates and events are factual, correct and unarguable. From there, Bethesda uses what's called human stupidity to incorrectly list dates and embellish events that they release in games. All to make their fans argue with each other while they sit back and laugh at how wrong we are. :P

As such, things that we list on the wikia that gain information from ingame books could be very wrong in comparison to The Elder Scrolls Bible. For example, in the real history, Tiber Septim COULD have actually been a female breton mage... (Though it's extremely unlikely)

The reason why a Lore Bible is extremely recommended when developing worlds is because it ensures that there is no way that any events could contradict each other (DRAGON BREAK DOESNT COUNT).

I guess the only way that a wiki could be canon is if Bethesda themselves made the wiki. However I very much doubt that they would as something like that would require massive amounts of community involvement.
