Anyone can help build and improve it, and we encourage all Sonic fans to do so. It was started 11 September, 2005 and currently contains 20,128 articles. The main page is here.

Some standards
- Lists vs Articles - We lean towards articles, because they're more condusive to people adding information, and as this is a Sonic Wiki, is should get pretty specific. If you think it's appropriate, use lists that point to separate articles. But if you can write a page about even the most obscure character, by all means go ahead!
- As for characters, in general they should have only one page which covers all the universes, preferably trying to tie those universes together into one coherent storyline. That's one of this wiki's jobs. There are, of course, some clear discrepancies, but for the most part the Sonic world is pretty good about tying it all together (ex. Sega keeps a leash on Archie.)
- Two other random things:
- Measurements (height, weight, etc.) should be in metric with english system in parenthesis
- Ages should be those from Sonic Channel (Wikipedia is usually a reliable source for that too). We seem to have a problem with people being obsessed with changing the ages, and fighting over them.
All articles (about Sonic of course) are authorized, and policy pretty much boils down to "Go at it as you see fit," and remember the Wikipedia motto, Be Bold.
Our sister wiki
Though we know there are some here working on articles about the TV series and comics, and we by all means welcome them, at present this wiki focuses mainly on the Sonic games. We do, however, have a sister wiki, all about the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by Archie: Mobius Encyclopaedia
In their words:
Mobius Encyclopaedia is a collaborative project to create the most definitive, accurate, and accessible encyclopedia and reference for everything related to the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog universe. Mobius Encyclopaedia started in October 2007, and currently consists of 145 articles!
