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. | A [[wikipedia:crossover (fiction)|crossover]] is the placement of two or more otherwise discrete fictional characters, settings, or universes into the same context.

This is to help provide context for these real elements. Real world information as used within in-universe articles is subject to change should future entries into the series replace it with their own, alternative context. | ||
