- This project is under development. Leave comments on the sub-talk page.
The Trivia Project is a project with the goal of improving the quality of trivia sections of articles throughout SmashWiki.
Trivia Section Concepts
Wikipedia has a tough no-trivia-section policy. SmashWiki allows trivia sections, but it seems that users have a tendency to throw random facts into a trivia section instead of placing it in a more appropriate place within the bulk of the article. The main goal of this project is to explain when it is appropriate for a fact to be in a trivia section, as well as to improve the existing trivia sections over the whole of the wiki.
What Makes A Good Piece of Trivia
- Noteworthiness.
- Truth.
- Detail.
What Makes A Bad Piece of Trivia
- Ambiguity.
- Irrelavance.
- Falsehoods.
Other Guidelines
- Trivia must be on the right page. A minor glitch involving, say, Aether, belongs on Aether and not on Ike (SSBB) or Ike. If it's sufficiently noteworthy, it might merit its own page.
- Trivia should only go under a trivia section if it doesn't belong in any other category of data within the article.
- Trivia sections must have more than 1 piece of trivia to be considered complete.
