Fixing Classic Sonic implications

BUR #24123 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

For some reason none of the entries listed in the wiki for Classic Sonic are implicated to the Classic umbrella tag - instead they're all implicated to the main tag and the umbrella is implicated separately.

The only things I left out of the BUR are Sonic Mania and the cartoons. I know they're made in the style of the classic games but I don't know enough about how SEGA classifies these games and adaptations to know if they're officially considered part of the classic series.

Why do we have sonic_the_hedgehog_(classic) at all? I thought it was for the "chonkier" designs, but looking at non-classic series the characters look identical.

I assume they're considered their own continuity or something of that sort? Admittedly I don't really know how SEGA treats continuity or official groupings for the games and I was just going off the wiki, so we'll need someone who's more into the franchise to give some insight on the tag's usefulness

Classic Sonic is treated like it's own continuity nowadays. In fact, Sonic Mania is basically what caused the continuity split. I personally treat it and Sonic Superstars as classic games.

As a Sonic fan, anything that plays like the original classic games and invokes the classic artstyle is a Classic Sonic to me, even if it released recently. But for danbooru itself, I would just look at the character designs. So Mania, any show with classic designs and Superstars would count as Sonic the Hedgehog (Classic). That's just my opinion though.

People in the fandom do differentiate Modern and Classic Sonic a lot, so I think Sonic the Hedgehog (Classic) is a very useful tag.
