I'm not okay with losing the subheadings or the sentences.

The path I do not want to take is the MemoryAlpha path of it all in a seemingly nonsensical list at the bottom of the page.

Thinking on CzechOut's confusion over these two sections I returned to the "Story connections / Continuity", which I did propose just getting rid of but now propose separating or doing something else with.

The "References/Connections" section I have always considered to be "in-universe" observations. It's everything observed within the narrative.

But Continuity is deliberate links to other stories. With Continuity/Story connections as it is now it's much more contextual. It makes more sense within the greater DW narratives.

But the References/Connections it exists as an observation of everything within the story.

So I don't think they are the same thing.
 * Continuity/Story connections are about placing the story within the larger narratives that exist.
 * References/Connections are about observations of the "stuff" of the DWU in that story.
