This is a documentation subpage for Template:Trivia.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template sorts articles into Category:Articles with trivia sections.

This template should not be substituted.

Placement

Editors should not use this template to tag sections they consider trivial (i.e., which topically address something the editor does not think should be covered). In accordance with Wikipedia:Trivia sections, this template should only be placed at the top of sections that contain indiscriminate and unselective lists.

Usage

To help with the categorization of articles, please use the optional date parameter, e.g. {{trivia|date=December 2024}}. Articles tagged with this template without the parameter will eventually be given the parameter by a bot.

The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste {{trivia|date=December 2024}}

Other templates

Please keep this template's messaging consistent with the related templates:

{{Prose}} – A similar box that suggests converting into prose a section that consists of a list, rather than integrating the items into the prose of other sections.
{{Reduce trivia}} – A variant of the {{Trivia}} template, suggesting removal rather than reformatting or relocation of irrelevant/indiscriminate details.
