This is a proposed style guideline for Trivia articles. Please see the talk page for discussion.
|
Trivia sections are small sections of an article where interesting facts can be kept about a topic.
Guidelines
These are only proposed guidelines. See the talk page to discuss changes.
- Trivia items should not duplicate information in the infobox or article.
- Trivia items should not be obvious to anyone who has played Team Fortress 2 for a reasonable amount of time.
- Trivia items should be interesting and/or helpful. Items that satisfy neither of these are not worth mentioning.
Do not
- Do not post lists as trivia, e.g., characteristics that are shared with a few other items (such as Jigglebones).
- Do not post obscure references that are not proven with hard evidence.
- Do not post images or videos unless absolutely necessary to prove a point. It is better to link to a video than to embed it for trivia.
- Do not state the obvious. It can easily be assumed hats and miscellaneous items are purely cosmetic.
- Do not post minor visual glitches/bugs (such as clipping issues) as trivia.
