Inkipedia:Policy/Trivia

Content qualifies as trivia if it is information that is not significant or vital to either the game or gameplay, does not fit in other places of the article, and is of interest to note. Examples include seemingly unintentional recurrences, real-world references, or seemingly unintentional but unmistakable similarities between two subjects. Trivia must be true and verified; neither speculation nor opinion-based conjectures are trivia. Trivia is inserted as one of the final sections in an article, before "Names in other languages" and "References".

Trivia sections quickly become disorganized, unwieldy, and difficult to read, as they are a list of unconnected facts. Inkipedia is not as indiscriminate collection of information; Inkipedia should be highly organized, well-presented, and readable. Whenever possible, Inkipedia articles should not contain a list of unrelated facts. Often, trivia items do fit somewhere else, but an editor simply failed to properly work it into the article when adding it. Trivia items that cannot be worked into the article's existing structure can be processed into organized lists, under new section titles of an editor's choosing, such as "Cultural references" or "Ink color details" or "Etymology".

Excessive listings of unexplained statistics do not qualify as trivia. This type of content should be organized under a new section, or a new page if sufficiently long.
