Back when I first started updating IMDb data, the rules prohibited the "references" movie connection between episodes of the same TV series. I think there were a few exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking, this wasn't allowed and wasn't accepted.
I'm now starting to see a lot of these movie connections popping up. Loads of them exist on the Rick and Morty page, for example, where a character might refer to something happening in a past episode. I'm also seeing a lot of them popping up on The Simpsons, which is usually full of background references to previous episodes.
Have the rules been changed? Is IMDb now happy to accept references from one episode of a show to another episode of that show?
