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 (although running gags that serve as as recurring motif or theme may be included if they form a signficant aspect of the plot or theme, and can be incorporated into the synopsis in a manner that isn't extraneous).

Season 25[edit]

Should this be considered an episode of season 25? It is a continuation of events that took place in that season according to the promotional material. Zvig47 (talk) 00:51, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We don’t know what its positioning is except as a part of the overall series. The article is built from what we have, not from what we assume. CreecregofLife (talk) 00:59, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

title correction[edit]

i believe that this page title should be corrected to “South Park: The Streaming Wars” in order to comply with grammar rules Flyless Kyle (talk) 06:51, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Flyless Kyle: There is no such grammar rule in this case. We go by the title as given by South Park/Comedy Central, and in their press releases, it does not include a colon, so neither do we. - SanAnMan (talk) 13:35, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
