Whats the criteria for characters to be included on here?--MathUser 16:38, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, so I added some characters or whatever. But I didn't delete the category that has Ashura even though I really, really wanted to. Because even though they are in the character category in the wiki, they just aren't Sonic the Hedgehog characters. There's a reason Archie, Underground, and Sonic X characters aren't in this exact template, and really, those three apocryphal characters were fanmade concepts based on glitches, and nothing more. In the end, they are fan characters, and even if they should be recognized on the wiki because of their connection to actual glitches and exploits in the game, they should not be part of this template. But I didn't delete it outright because I figured there should be some sort of discussion on this subject.--David The Lurker 20:52, 25 February 2010 (UTC)--David The Lurker 20:52, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

nineko put Blue Knuckles on there, and I complained, sarcasticly suggesting that he put all the other glitches on as well.
Sadly, the Intarwebs does not transmit sarcasm well, and he went ahead and did it.

I knew you were being sarcastic, but I actually liked your idea. If anything, ********** isn't a glitch, he's even acknowledged in the level select/character select screen, so he's somehow official. And while Blue Knuckles and Ashura aren't official names per se instead, they're easily obtainable in Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Ashura can be obtained even on a real Mega Drive), so I think it's just fair to keep them in the template. I'll never understand how one more link can hurt, this is something that really pisses me off even in regards to the official Wikipedia, they always have this rush to delete stuff instead of adding more informations and more links between pages. My base question is "why not?" Nineko 22:51, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
