: I'd like to put forward that "Continuity" should focus on links to past releases instead of mentioning retroactively placed material from stories published later, to help keep track of release orders, prevent overgrounding the subheading and avoid repetition on multiple pages. Maybe even rename the subheading "References" or "Call backs" or some other synonym.

::BCM, that's a thought-provoking proposal, but ultimately I disagree. We as a wiki collectively decided to not care about repetition on multiple pages when we created [[T:NOUN]]; and besides, wouldn't a story page just be obviously incomplete if it doesn't mention how later stories have connected to it? That said, you raise a really interesting point about keeping track of release orders. Sorting "Continuity" section bullet points by story release date would be a pain to do manually, but it's the sort of thing that might be implemented with a template, now we have {{tlx|cite source}}. But that would certainly lie outside the scope of this thread, and while interesting, it doesn't strike me as a high priority. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 14:21, 18 September 2023 (UTC) | |||
