This is a documentation subpage for Template:Trivia.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

To help with the categorization of articles, you may use the optional date parameter, e.g. {{trivia|date=August 2024}}. Articles tagged with this template without the parameter will eventually be given the parameter by a bot.

The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste {{trivia|date=August 2024}}

Editors should not use this template to tag sections they consider trivial. In accordance with Wikipedia:Trivia sections, this template should only be placed at the top of sections that contain indiscriminate and unselective lists.

This template sorts articles into Category:Articles with trivia sections.

Related templates

{{Prose}} – a similar box that suggests converting the section into prose, rather than integrating the items into the prose of other sections.

Wikipedia:"In popular culture" content – an essay on "popular culture" articles and sections.
