Is it an interesting trivia point? I'm not necessarily enthralled by it, but I can see the argument. But is it really worth having if the average reader will have no idea what it's saying or, otherwise, it's just an awkwardly long or specific trivia point? No, not really.

:'''''Trivia should be organized into a single-level bullet point list.''' Sub-bullet points are not allowed; all too often, they are used for a pseudo-conversational addendum to an existing trivia point. Any trivia that would be formatted that way either should be condensed into a single, more cohesive bullet point, or removed for excessive complexity. | |||
Any opposition to adding this? If I see another dang trivia point that's three bullet points deep, I swear...

:Not so sure on this one, often sub-bullets are abused for bad trivia, but they do have valid uses for organizing legitimate multi-faceted trivia points. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 13:10, October 28, 2021 (EDT) | |||
:I'd say allow one sub-bullet point and only allow two sub-bullet points in a case-by-case basis. Anything else beyond that is too much.

::Would it change anything if I reframed it as "discouraged" as opposed to "not allowed"?

:::Not a fan of "not allowed". More a fan of "discouraged". However, I agree with OT—sometimes there are legitimate and valid reasons to use sub-bullets.

:Sub-bullets are very useful for organising and de-cluttering related bits of Trivia. I can't imagine the kinds of huge paragraph-like run-on nonsense people would come up with if sub-bullets were "not allowed." In my version of this addendum, only tertiary bullets and beyond would "not [be] allowed," and secondary ones would only be permitted under certain (subjective!) circumstances.

:I get that it’s an issue, but this is frankly a poor solution to it. If it had to stay, then yes, I agree that we should be saying ‘discouraged’ rather than outright ‘not allowed’. However I do not think it will do much to solve the problems we have been having.

Doesn't seem like there's a clear backing here like I had expected. Point dropped.
