''MediEvil: Resurrection'' is not considered a mainline ''MediEvil'' game on the ''MediEvil Wiki''. This is due to it having many storyline changes that are ultimately irreconcilable with the original game and its more faithful 2019 remake. Examples of such changes include the replacement of [[Morten the Earthworm]] with [[Al-Zalam]] and the introduction of the [[Anubis Stone]]. | ''[[MediEvil: Resurrection]]'' is not considered a mainline ''MediEvil'' game on the ''MediEvil Wiki''.

{{Quote|Some scholars offer an alternative tale of Dan's resurrection. Among other things they claim that when first reanimated, Dan had a cantankerous one-eyed 'genie' hanging out inside his skull. They suggest that the Hall of Heroes was some open-air Greek spa floating in the clouds... Pah! Preposterous! None of that makes any sense!|''An Introduction to MediEvil'' from ''MediEvil: The Game Prequel''}} | {{Quote|Some scholars offer an alternative tale of Dan's resurrection.

On article pages whose subjects only exist in ''MediEvil: Resurrection'', it is fine to present them as fact, so long as the [[Template:Resurrection article|Resurrection article]] notice appears at the top of the page. | On article pages whose subjects only exist in ''MediEvil: Resurrection'', it is fine to present them as fact, so long as the [[Template:Resurrection article|Resurrection article]] notice appears at the top of the page. | ||
===''Ghosthunter''=== | |||
[[File:Ghosthunter-Demo-Fortesque-Concept-Art.png|thumb|right|150px|Concept art of Freddie.]] Although ''[[wikipedia:Ghosthunter (video game)|Ghosthunter]]'' is ''not'' considered a part of the ''MediEvil'' series, the game features a character called [[Colonel Freddie Fortesque]] who is said to be a relation of Sir Dan. While the Colonel is not strictly canon to the ''MediEvil'' universe, it is acceptable to mention him and the references he makes on relevant pages, such as the [[Fortesque family]] article. | |||
However, covering the entirety of the ''Ghosthunter'' universe is beyond the scope of the ''MediEvil Wiki''. Therefore, please refrain from making pages about anything ''Ghosthunter''-related that exists outside of the HMS Victoria level in which the Colonel appears. | |||
===Crossovers=== | |||
A [[wikipedia:crossover (fiction)|crossover]] is the placement of two or more otherwise discrete fictional characters, settings, or universes into the same context. ''MediEvil'' has had several crossovers, the major ones being ''[[wikipedia:Everybody's Golf 2|Everybody's Golf 2]]'', ''[[wikipedia:PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale|PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Wipeout Pure|wipEout purE]]''. Due to their nature as crossovers and the generally limited involvement of the ''MediEvil'' development teams in their creation, they are not considered a part of the canon. However, they should still be mentioned on relevant pages in an appropriate non-canon section. | |||
