Oh! Edo Rocket
Kid Wizard
There is a reference to Negima in the 22nd episode of Edo Rocket where an "anime about a ten year old wizard" is mentioned. What really makes the scene is that is breaks the fourth wall by mentioning the script-writers who worked on the English dub of the second season, which coincidentally is the voice actress playing the role. The man at the end is also played by the same voice actor of Negi.
Hayate the Combat Butler
Class Roster Hi-jinks
In the manga, Hayate the Combat Butler in chapter 148, on pages 9-11, the manga references Negima's roster, fit with a few nods to the details. Funnily enough, Hayate, student no. 20, shares the same spot as Kaede, who are both voiced by the same voice actor in Japan.

Modern Day Picasso
At the end of episode 4, there are panty shots of Kaere Kimura, who is voiced by Yu Kobayashi, who also happens to be the voice actor of Setsuna Sakurazaki.
As you may notice of Kaere's panties, there is a crude drawing of both Setsuna and a chupacabra. It's drawn by Yu Kobayashi. Due to the voice actor's "unique" art style, it's a running gag to use her drawings in shows she voices in. Her drawings have been present in Negima as well.

Chupacabra Party!
Seen in episode 9, there's a shot with three scrolls at the top of the classroom that read "Chu - pa - T" is a reference to the chupracabra T-shirts Asuna and Negi's allies are seen wearing through the Negima!? series.
"Negipa", which is written on the chalkboard, is a nod to the Negipa (or Negima Party Book) series released for the manga.

Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart
Knock on Wood
There's a level in this game featuring a giant tree. If you are familiar with Norse cosmology, you may be aware a giant "World Tree" is something you see pop up in media from time-to-time, such as the Dragon Quest series. However, it is believed this particular game's tree is a nod to Negima. Not only is the tree in the center of a city, much like Mahora City, but further evidence supporting this is that in Noire, there are rumors that confessing under the tree will ensure your love. The same plot point was part of a story segment in Negima, so while this may necessarily be a reference, there is enough of a case to include it here.
