Well, the changes I want:


 * 1) We're still covering crossovers.
 * 2) I want the playable requirement back for game characters. Other media characters like Mega Man can stay, but characters who only appeared in game crossovers but were unplayable like Toad should stay off the wiki until they become playable twice.
 * 3) Toad will be deleted. Sorry Toad, I like you, but you being an unplayable character may be a problem later.
 * 4) The rule will be rewritten from "Such characters must have appeared in at least two games, two comic books, or two episodes of a television show in which Sonic was a main character. Cameo appearances do not qualify as appearances. This includes crossover games, comics, and television shows, but excludes those in which Sonic merely made cameo appearances." to "Such characters must have been playable in at least two games or appeared in two comic books or two episodes of a television show in which Sonic was a main character. Cameo appearances do not qualify as appearances. This includes crossover games, comics, and television shows, but excludes those in which Sonic merely made cameo appearances."
 * 5) Crossover characters will be categorized. For example, Mario will be in Category:Males, Category:Humans, Category:Heroes in addition to Category:Crossover characters. The rule about not categorizing characters will be removed from the latter's category page.
 * 6) Since categorization increases the likelyhood of finding the page, like seeing Princess Peach in Princess Elise the Third's Read More, we might need to put a notice on top of the character's talk page reminding them about the crossover character policy.
 * 7) While we're categorizing, I will make commented out categories for my userspace characters. They will be a reminder of what they will be categorized in when they are mainspaced, but are commented out so that userspace pages don't end up in mainspace categories.
 * 8) All Brawl sections on characters will be consistent. If you look at my userspace, you'd notice that all my characters have a uniform format. I've even put this format on some Mario pages.
 * 9) Creation of Smash Bros. characters will be protected until December 1st. The reason? Because I'm already working on them in my userspace and I don't want any competitor pages. Smash Bros. for Wii U is coming this Winter, so that's when I'm going to do the revote. I'm sorry that the last three points was about Smash Bros, but at least they weren't as whiney, and it is a minor part of this post.
 * 10) Character infoboxes should have the artwork of the latest crossover with Sonic in his/her classic outfit. Peach and Daisy has decals in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games that show their classic dresses which we can use. In fact, the Mario decals are good to use. But artwork from deep within the Mario series isn't for here. In fact, all Sega characters that are not from Sonic should use crossover images. NiGHTS would use his latest crossover artwork, not from NiGHTS: Journey into Dreams, even if Sonic made any cameo.
 * 11) The screenshots in galleries need to include something Sonic related. For example, a screenshot from Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing could only be in the gallery if Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Dr. Eggman, Big or Metal Sonic is seen racing with the subject, or if the track is Whale Lagoon, Roulette Road, Turbine Loop, Dark Arsenal, Pinball Highway, Lost Palace, Ocean Ruin, Bingo Party, or Thunder Deck, or if there is a Sonic based item like Speed Shoes,and the Energy Shield, or if a Sonic character makes a cameo appearance. Would Mario fighting Pikachu on Bridge of Eldin be suitable for Mario's gallery? No, Brawl screenshots need Sonic, Shadow or Green Hill Zone to be permitted.
 * 12) Trophies and stickers are permitted, as they are in the formatting of the Brawl section. They are not counted as screenshots. I uploaded so many trophies and stickers that I had to make a category for each. However, they are limited to Fighters (like Mario), Final Smashes (Like Mario Finale), and alternate costumes (Paper Mario, Striker Mario, Baby Mario, etc). Non-fighter trophies like Jody Summers do not get to be uploaded. There will be a Trophies section and a stickers section in the Super Smash Bros.
 * 13) Non-Sonic images that are not in the mainspace are to be deleted. People using those images in their userspace should be encouraged to use photobucket. That is why I'm moving my trophies and stickers into the Brawl gallery.
 * 14) Non-Sonic locations like Mega City and the Non-Sonic tracks in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing should be deleted.

And those are the rules I propose. Now if you excuse me, I have some trophies to add to Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Gallery. And Shadow, if you remove this comment for the mention of Smash Bros, I should tell you, it's about crossovers as a whole. I mentioned Sega, didn't I?
