SmashWiki:Trivia

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.
