Smashpedia: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 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.
