How can you help?
The best way to help out is to create new content. If you know something about Sonic that we don't, add it! You can get a good idea of what we already do and don't have by browsing or searching our articles. If you find that we don't have a page for something and you think we should, then you can create one: width=24 break=no buttonlabel=Create a new article!

In addition, you can:
