Do you always look at the talk pages on wikis you don't help edit? Not everyone does, and it won't be obvious to everyone there might be useful/interesting content hidden away there. If a section is considered worthy of the main page in most articles, then it seems odd to delete it based on a labeling technicality. Whether you call it continuity or a reference, it's still the sort of thing we normally consider to be interesting/valid.

Why would you include references without hyperlinks? Purely to make the wiki less functional?
