Addendum to Corruption Page: Glitches

So, glitches are sometimes utilized in fiction. For example, Ashley plays with a small amount of bugginess in Warioware: Get it Together and NULL (filename2) glitches up the entire school when going after the player. You could even catch Missingno in the Generation 1 games, although the canonicity of Missingno is debatable. Heck, the entirety of Glitch Techs revolves around glitches!

Really, the only thing I can associate the use of glitches with is Corruption, so I'm requesting that the Corruption page account for glitches as well. Why? Well, while in the real world glitches are little more than buggy programming, in fiction, glitches can eat everything up if they aren't stopped. Glitches are sometimes referred to as Corruption in the real world. So yeah, there ya have it.
 
What's the difference between this and type 1 corruption?
Really, the main difference is that glitches can either do Type 1 or Type 2 corruption, or even both at once, even though they typically don't have a mind of their own. That and sometimes glitches appear as data (as is the case with Vanellope from "Wreck-it-Ralph" or Virus-type Digimon) rather than the corruption the wiki is used to. They kinda fit under both umbrellas (data and corruption). Sometimes, glitches might just straight-up eat whatever they touch rather than corrupt them the way the wiki is used to.

Really, they're in an odd place in fiction.

It should just be data manipulation, limited corruption if it only works on data and not physical things
