Isn't Mulan mentioning Maleficent as a witch who turned someone into a beast in 509 the same as Regina mentioning the person who created the curse in 512? Or Lancelot being mentioned as one of the prisoners who were released in 507? Or Hercules being mentioned as "someone from another forest"? etc. It is far from being subjective. "Bla bla bla We should call Grumpy for help bla bla bla" Do we really need to list this kind of obvious mentions? Definitely not.

Fiona and Hercules are "retro mentions". Meaning they were mentioned BEFORE their real introduction in the show, and the writers decided to associate these characters to these past mentions. So yeah in these cases, we could make the precision of the line they are mentioned.

For the rest of your exemple, no it is not needed as the mentions happened AFTER the events happened. Characters just mentioned a previous event, in this case it implies a knowledge of the show. And, as we do for the rest of the wiki, we work by assuming that our readers are up with the shows, that they watched all eps so, in your cases, they know what the characters are talking about.
