I have a love for references and will fight for all the info currently in that section to stay - I don't mind sentences, as long as the same information is till there.

Clearly you never read my whole post. I said I tried to link continuity solely to the past, and it failed. I then said it would be difficult to enforce - thus saying, we cannot do it.

The one thing I like about suheadings is that is breaks up huge chunks of information into easily manageable, readable sections. If some stories have a large 'Connections' section, which some will - especially with 'references' (because every story, IMO, is littered with them).

Under each subheading, there is only need for two sentences. Say the heading was 'Individuals'. We would have one sentence saying:


 * There are many references to individuals in the episode:

and then say:


 * There are many connections to other stories regarding individuals:

The first sentence, would mainly be about:
 * 1) Information gained in the episode that gives us additional information about a character, place, event etc
 * 2) Information that is bogged standard references, and poses no real connections to other stories (as some references currently do)

The second sentence would be about:
 * 1) Connections to other stories. Whether it be thought direct mention about another adventure, or a reference which can be linked to another adventure (such as the Slitheen arm)

It could also just be merged into the one sentence, if we don't want to get too bogged down on trying to separate them. The Slitheen arm can be both a reference to the Slitheen and a connection to Aliens of London.
