This is a documentation subpage for Template:Trivia section. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template sorts articles into Category:Articles with trivia sections.
This template should only be substituted if you want it to be automatically dated. |
Editors should not use this template to tag sections they consider trivial (i.e., which topically address something the editor does not think should be covered). In accordance with Wikipedia:Trivia sections, this template should only be placed at the top of sections that contain indiscriminate and unselective lists.
To help with the categorization of articles, please use the optional date parameter, e.g. ((trivia section|date=April 2024))
. Sections 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 section is to copy and paste ((trivia section|date=April 2024))
|date=April 2024
Please help with the categorization of articles for cleanup by using this parameter. You can use |date=((subst:DATE))
as a shorthand to enter this parameter. Articles tagged with this template without the parameter will eventually be given the parameter by a bot, but it may not reflect the correct month of tagging.|to=
Location of page or section to which to suggest moving the relevant material, e.g.: |to=#Filmography
or |to=Nocturnal underwater basketweaving#Techniques
. If the |small=
option is turned on, this information does not display, but may still be useful to editors.|small=y
If given a positive value (y, yes, 1, true), makes the template into a smaller box, instead of a banner. Requires explicit definition of the template as applying not to the entire article: ((trivia|sect=y|small=y))
or ((trivia|table|small=yes))
or ((trivia|section="In popular culture" material|small=1))
