How to add a reference

1. Connect the right entriesStart with the work making the reference, then the work or person it points to.
2. Show where you spotted itA chapter, episode, scene, or timestamp helps everyone follow along.
3. Explain the referenceInclude the quote or describe the moment. Choose Suspected when you’re unsure.

Target a specific episode when that’s what is referenced, or the show for a general mention. Series membership is origin, not a reference.
