I think it basically summarizes as:

"Everything that's not the 7+ films and Clone Wars is now Legends and not part of official canon, but still considered part of the Star Wars expanded universe of legitimate Star Wars stories."

aka what we already knew.

Right?
Pretty much. Until Disney, Lucasarts, or Bioware put out anything official it doesn't matter what the community says.

Until and unless Starwars.com comes out and labels the Old Republic era as non-canon, I consider it canon. And that's all that needs saying on the matter.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut there no longer is such a thing as T-canon and C-canon.
There is only Canon and Legends.
And SW:TOR falls squarely into the Legends category.
Just like the Jedi Academy games, the Thrawn Trilogy, the entire works of Karen Traviss and anything else that is not The Movies or The TV-shows made by Lucas himself.

Oh and FYI, the fans don't agree (they never do) and Wookieepedia is not "Official" since it is an open source wiki like wikipedia and anyone can pilfer with it.

PS. nothing is DISCREDITED as you say. No more than anything else in the EU. Since C-canon has always meant computer games and T-canon has always meant Tv-shows, the real headline should be "Star Wars Fans "OFFICIALLY" rate Bioware's Star Wars: The Old Republic as C-canon just like all the other SW computer games out there"

Of course, that wouldn't be as sensationalist and wouldn't stir up the emotional responses it was meant to

Good lord no, that's gonna give me nightmares, if I actually slept. Although trooper on stage left was kinda cute, and that is obviously cannon. Cause everyone knows troopers love to dance.
