Shouldn't Rintarou Okabe have Acausality type 1 for being immune to the shifting timelines be listed in his wiki? His memories are never changed and no matter what timeline he is in, his past before the time machine never changes either, largely being unaffected by the changes.

"Acausality is the ability to act unrestrained by conventional cause and effect, on a scale that varies depending on the character. For some characters, this means not being affected by changes to the past; for others, this means defying all logic and acting with disregard for traditional causality."

"Type 1: Time Paradox Immunity: Characters with this type of Acausality are rendered immune to changes in the past and standard temporal paradoxes, but remain just as vulnerable in the present and can be affected by normal Causality Manipulation and similar abilities."

Should Acausality type 1 be added to his wiki?
 
But...he's not immune to changes in the past?

I mean, not completely. His mind basically is, but his body is not.
 
It's his reading Steiner ability. Okabe retains all his memories when the timelines adjust to a different timeline and the timelines never shift to a timeline he is currently dead in.
 
No, it would be. He just maintains memories of the timelines he's been through rather than the new past his alternate timeline's body has lived through.

Shoot Okabe in the past and he's dead in the future too.
 
Then how would you properly list Okabe's abilities? There were several points in the story when the past before the time machine was severely altered yet it did not affect Okabe's present-self, only altering the world around him.

There were times even he was bewildered with how he was able to retain relationships through the altering timelines.
