I like combining Continuity and References sections. It removes potential for duplicate references.

I think they should stay bullet pointed. Without bullet points, the section either becomes too long with double spaces between information, or separate points melt together. It's not very readable. Bullet points are easy for a new editor to pick up and are one of the few reliable ways to provide a clear visual break without requiring a double space. The other options presented here either don't give enough information or the section visually melts together.

I like the header name "Connections" as it's descriptive, distinctive, and short. "Story Elements" is inaccurate, as sometimes observations made are not and should not be restricted to parts of the actual plot of the story.

I like splitting the section into Subheaders, but I think that we need to be far more restrictive on what is permissible as a subheader. Currently, there are over a hundred used in the reference sections of the television stories alone. (Literally. I've compiled them.)

I do like having a stripped down and paragraph form of "Continuity".
