Right. We don't really need lists if we could make complete articles on each of them. And there is nothing wrong with having more Capcom and Nintendo characters than Sega. It's only ironic for Sonic's home company to have less characters from other games than other companies, but not wrong. Sonic teamed up with Mega Man in the World's Collide comics. Sonic competed with Mario at the Olympics four times. Sonic is about to fight more Nintendo characters for a second time in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U. You may want more of Sega on this wiki, but you can't ignore the recent crossovers. And I like these crossover characters. It brings some variety to the wiki. I guess I was wrong to judge Toad. He has only one page, while my current userspace has 16 articles. I had an idea in my head to have the Smash characters trample Toad, and that is not right. If Toad permits other Mario characters, they would be here by now. And sorry about overreacting. BlueSpeeder had started the discussion talking about my userspace. Then Mystic mentioned something about linking articles to other wikis and stating we are a Sonic the Hedgehog Wiki, and that got me overreacting because I thought he was implying that he want to get rid of them. Sorry if you didn't. This Smash project I'm doing is making me very biased. Talking about my Smash project, the revote, is very similar to when I talk about The Flying Boy (that's a book I'm writing that I'm going to turn into a TV show). I'm talking about the future. The Smash Bros. project could fail in these ways:


 * I could lose the revote.
 * I can give up (which I'm not going to do now.)
 * I can get blocked (the more I overreact, the more likely it is so I really need to calm down.)
 * I can get grounded from the computer.
 * I can forget about this site.
 * I can be too busy some other site or doing something else.
 * I can die.
 * Someone can delete my userspace. (Not likely because if someone does that, he'd get in trouble with the other admins)
 * We can decide to stop covering crossovers (one reason I overreacted to this forum.)

And I don't want any of these to happen to me. Have anyone had a goal they wanted to pursue? Well, I just hope I can succeed. Now this is the last I talk about Smash Bros. on this forum. If anyone asks about Smash Bros., I should keep my responses brief.

Now, without the Smash bias, I still think these characters are fun to read. C'mon, Mario on a Sonic site? How awesome is that? If my Smash project passes, Pikachu is going to be more awesome! Sorry, Smash bias, but still I like crossover character articles. Even in other wikis. The only characters I'd read about on the Mortal Kombat Wiki are the DC characters like Batman. Also, on other wikis, crossover characters are categorized with the wiki's series characters. On Mortal Kombat Wiki, Batman is categorized in these categories. MK characters can fit into 4 of thes categories, but the Read more shows Joker, Flash and Lex Luthor, three DC characters. Now let me refresh until I see a Mortal Kombat character. Actually, refreshing show the same characters, so let's cycle through the DC characters on MK Wiki. Wow, all of them got just DC characters in their read more.
 * Characters
 * Good Characters
 * DC Universe
 * MK vs. DCU Characters
 * Non-canon Characters
 * Male Characters
 * Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
 * Humans

Now let's look at the Super Mario Wiki. They have an article on Sonic. He's in these categories:
 * Citation needed
 * Super Smash Bros. Brawl
 * Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
 * Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
 * Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games
 * 3rd-Party Characters
 * Playable Characters
 * Characters
 * Sonic the Hedgehog Series
 * Super Smash Bros. Stickers
 * Forms
 * Final Smashes
 * Super Smash Bros. Trophies
 * Super Smash Bros. Brawl Fighters
 * Mammals
 * Hedgehogs
 * Heroes
 * Unlockables

Link's page on Super Mario Wiki has:
 * Super Smash Bros. series
 * Super Smash Bros. Melee
 * Super Smash Bros. Brawl
 * Characters from other Nintendo games
 * Playable Characters
 * Super Smash Bros. Characters
 * Super Smash Bros. Trophies
 * Super Smash Bros. Stickers
 * Magicians
 * The Legend of Zelda Series

Well, you get the idea. It's totally normal for crossover characters to be categorized with characters from the wiki's series. In fact if you try to remove those categories, they'd probably revert your edit. What they do is their business and they have different rules from us. But when I asked why we can't categorize crossover characters, the kinds of responses I got were because they are not Sonic. That reason I don't get. I believe if they are here, they can be categorized.

Now let's look at Sonic's page
