Revision as of 22:26, 27 January 2024
Hmmm, perhaps it might be best to merge this page with the Moon Medal page, as both medals, while separate from one another, serve the exact same purpose as one another: to unlock new levels in the HD versions and to unlock bonus rooms in the SD versions. The manuals also use "Medal" as a catch-all term for both types of medals on various pages.
As for the merged page name, we have to take into account that other games have medals as collectibles that serve different purpose, so we'll have to work out page naming and the likes. --BSonirachi (talk) 18:59, 27 January 2024 (EST)
- Hello! Just before addressing this, please check out File:Hidden Treasure Ring.png for one more question.
- So, about the medals, yes, I guess we could merge, but there is series of issues to settle before preceding to define implementation. (I rewrote this because I don't really think what I wrote before made a lot of sense). When I created the page from scratch, I didn't know exactly how would I introduce them, but other wikis created a page for all Sonic medals with sections for each medal/both and/or address them in location guides in case of the PS3 version, or Gaia Gate guides in case of the PS2 version, such as fandom or gamefaqs. Either way, those don't seem the most adequated methods for this wiki, in my opinion, for a series of reasons.
- The way this wiki is on this topics leaves doors open, but also a lot of content holes. There is no reason right now to create a all-Sonic medals page having such few developments on that, and placing the medals exclusively in the Gaia Gate page wouldn't make sense for the PS3 version. My sugestion would be leaving both pages or redirection links from "Sun Medal" and "Moon Medal" to "Medals (Sonic Unleashed)", but keep only what matters for the items, because some of the info about the Gaia Gates' doors would stay better introduced in the Gaia Gate's page, having the pages redirecting to each other. The medals page can have a brief description, relevant info on the items purpose and obtention, gallery, eventual mentions in the official guides, and clear connection to the Gaia Gate's content on the Wii/PS2 segment. --SonicUnleashedPS2 (talk) 19:34, 27 January 2024 (EST)
