Is there a name for crosswords like today's where they make reference to other clues in the puzzle by their numbers? e.g. 12A Sportsman, could be one of 8 or 11 or one of 18 (4)

self-referential perhaps
Don't know what they are called either

But the numbers are not always references to other clues - sometimes the numbers themselves

I haven't had time to look at the puzzle yet - but I strongly suspect that the 8 refers to a rowing crew and the 11 a football/team

I'm sure I've seen clue beforeore
Themed?

11a is Lepidoptera
Sorry, 11a is gatekeeper
18a is Lepidoptera
