It's really only confusing when people fail to make the distinction between materials and content.

Materials are physical objects -- comics, novels, video games, etc. -- that exist in Earth-1218 and as such there is no need for apocryphal language in Category:Materials Adapted from Other Media itself, because there's no question that they all authentically exist in our reality.

Now the fictional content within them is always considered apocryphal unless confirmed canon, most often by various Guidebooks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, leading to two variations: Conversely, absolutely everything in Category:Apocryphal Content Adapted from Other Media comes from the first of these two variations, and their articles should all be tagged by Template:Adaptation2 and nothing should ever be manually added to this apocryphal content category since the banner does that automatically.
 * Materials which are  not  confirmed canon are tagged with Template:Adaptation which emblazons them with the apocryphal banner and automatically categorizes them.
 * On the other hand, Materials which are confirmed canon are  not  tagged with any banner and are manually added to Category:Materials Adapted from Other Media, again where there is no apocryphal language, so nothing suggests they're apocryphal at all.
