This title is very confusing. The trope is supposed to be a cross-continuity reference, but it seems that lots of people are confusing this with Continuity Nod. Case in point: this Mythology Gag subpage for The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword is full of Call Forwards, not Mythology Gags.

The trope should be renamed. A clearer title I'm thinking of is "Cross-Continuity Nod", but I'm hoping for a better suggestion.

2200 wicks and 600 inbounds. No evidence of misuse or ambiguity.

We don't do threads without evidence any more

The name has always bugged me too, but yeah you need to show some evidence.

Sorry, but this thread does not meet TRS standards. Feel free to make a new thread with all the arguments and evidence for renaming in the first post.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
