Other media

This article seems to be confused about what other media is. Other media is any media that original work expands to so since Sonic first appears in video games his premium media is video games regardless so any games Sonic and co appears in would fall under other media. Since Sonic didn't appear first in a song/music music should be part of other media not its own section. DoctorHver (talk) 23:25, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

External Links

Could we add a link to the Sonic fandom? It has a lot of great information too. SageAgathokak (talk) 15:49, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not. See WP:ELNO and WP:ELYES for external link dos and don'ts. Sergecross73 msg me 15:51, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
