Star Trek: The Animated Series

Hello!

Maybe it was already answered somewhere, but I couldn't find it. So... is Star Trek: Lower Decks considered canon? If so, TAS has to be canon too. I'm finally watching LD and I've seen some TAS references scattered here and there.

Theoretically there should still be a giant Spock clone out there somewhere in the galaxy he was created during the animated series. I wonder whatever happened to him?

Since there is now an explanation within the universe for the differences in the plot (date of the eugenic wars) and visual style (for example, uniform) between TOS and DIS with SNW, I propose to change the existing articles on the Starfleet uniforms of the XXIII century. Now there is a separate article for the DIS uniform, but at the same time a single article for two types of uniforms from TOS and uniforms from SNW. This article is a mess. I think they should be divided into several and renamed. I suggest creating 4 articles:

1. Starfleet uniform (2250s-2265 before the Temporal War) for uniform from TOS episodes The Cage and Where No Man Has Gone Before.

2. Starfleet uniform (2265-early 2270s before the Temporal War) for the rest of TOS and TAS.

3. Starfleet uniform (late 2230s-2258 after the Temporal War) for first and second seasons of DIS.

4. Starfleet uniform (2259-early 2270s after the Temporal War) for uniform from SNW.

And there will be no more confusion and contradictions. In addition, these articles will be easier to edit without fear of offending unrelated material.
