Template:Trivia/doc

Documentation

• This template sorts articles into Category:Articles with trivia sections.
• This template should not be subst'ed.
• To minimize this template's size, a non-fixed width was used. To have the template use the standard 80% width (such as when it fails to line up correctly with other templates), add "width=full" as a parameter: {{trivia|width=full}}.

Placement

This template should be placed at the top of the relevant section.

Usage

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

The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste {{trivia|date=July 2024}} or use {{subst:Trivia-now}}

Note that the date entered is for categorizing purposes only. The date will not display in the template.

Other templates

Please keep this template's wording in sync with the main template.

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