Please do not add mention of pop cultural references, continuity notes, trivia, or who the targets of a given episode's parody are, without accompanying such material with an inline citation of a reliable, published, secondary source. Adding such material without such sources violates Wikipedia's policies pertaining to Verifiability, No Original Research, and Synthesis.

While a primary source (such as the episode itself, or a screencap or clip from it at South Park Studios) is acceptable for material that is merely descriptive, such as the synopsis, it is not enough to cite a primary source for material that constitutes analytic, evaluative or interpretative claims, such as cultural references in works of satire or parody, because in such cases, such claims are being made by the editor. This is called synthesis, which is a form of original research, and is not permitted on Wikipedia, regardless of whether one thinks the meaning of the reference is "obvious". Sources for such claims must be secondary sources in which reliable persons, such as TV critics or reviewers, explicitly mention the reference.

In addition, trivial information that is not salient or relevant enough to be incorporated into the major sections of an article should not be included, per WP:PLOTSUMMARIZE and WP:TRIVIA, and this includes the plot summary. As indicated by WP:TVPLOT, the plot summary is an overview of a work's main events, so avoid any minutiae that is not needed for a reader's understanding of the story's three fundamental elements: plot, characterization and theme. This includes such minutiae as scene-by-scene breakdowns, technical information or detailed explanations of individual gags or lines of dialogue.

Rehash (South Park)REHASH – Moved without discussion based on WP:TM, however, episode titles are (seemingly) exempt from this (note the FA all things, and articles like HOMR and YOLO) Plus, calling the article REHASH works within WP:NATURALallowing us to avoid using a disambiguator. (From reading some past move discussions, I can see there is a guideline on capitals in articles, however, I forget what it's called.) Sources seem to be pretty evenly split on REHASH or Rehash.

I don't feel that ALLCAPS applies in this situation, since there is some consensus that episode titles don't necessarily follow TM. It is more if we can say it meets WP:DIFFCAPS (the guideline in my proposal that I forgot was called). Nohomersryan (talk) 23:46, 10 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
WP:DIFFCAPS applies to things like Ice Cube and Ice cube, not full capitalization of terms. Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:48, 10 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
It most certainly does. "Many such differences involve capitalization, punctuation, or pluralization: MAVEN and Maven;" note the second paragraph which discusses a theoretical situation involving JESUS and Jesus. Nohomersryan (talk) 23:50, 10 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
I agree with changing the text. It looks mighty awkward to have "#REHASH" everywhere except for the page title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nohomersryan (talkcontribs) 23:56, 10 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
