Not sure if you're still interested in responses to this thread, but here goes.

I don't personally like the concept of these pages as "elements", but I do think there's some benefit to keeping them where they are "obstacles". Water in particular is a very prominent feature of the environment in many Sonic games, and it has notable effects. That's worth mentioning somewhere that I don't feel would be adequately covered by a category or by deleting it. As a rule of thumb, if something appears in a sprite or a model (fire burst, electric arc, etc.) then it exists as a hazard and could warrant a page.

As for their use as elements, by which I mostly mean as gimmicks for powers and abilities, I think those should be separated out from the pages of hazards. Then... maybe test out what categories might look like, so that we can have a better idea of what you're suggesting? They don't need to be fully implemented, just an example or two so that we can make more informed decisions.
