Wiki doesnt get to decide what is and isnt canon. Ever since the end of of Naruto, manga has branched out into mediums, overseen by creators and referenced in their manga/anime. And Naruto/Boruto is the first one one to do so in an organized way. IIRC an official timeline was put out and explicitly includes the novels The wiki doesn't decide that, it tiers canon based on association relative to the author. So the further removed from the author, the lower the canon tier is. The novels are not written my Kishimoto, therefore are the lowest form of canon.

And to those who want to exclude the "love and willpower" statement, why believe anything in the novels then?
