Trivia about pre-release Community-developed content should be large, notable aspects. A large and notable aspect would include the intention for a cosmetic item or weapon to be equippable for several different classes, a map originally going to feature a major mechanic (e.g. the train on Megalo or the skeleton mafia on Spineyard), or a taunt originally going to be for multiple classes. These concepts should have some kind of concept created for it, such as concept art, some kind of prototype demonstration, development screenshots, etc. The following is not considered valid pre-release Trivia:

  • Cosmetics
    • Name changes
    • Minor design changes
    • Exclusion of cosmetics from a set
  • Maps
    • Layout changes
    • Changes to the map's backstory
    • Minor aesthetic changes
  • Taunts
    • Minor animation changes
    • Audio related changes (sound, music and voice lines)
  • Weapons
    • Intended stats
    • Minor design/animation changes
    • Exclusion of weapon from a set
Examples:

Good trivia: The Pain Train was originally designed to be used by the Pyro. (From Pain Train)
This is an interesting piece of pre-release content, as it would have significantly changed the weapon's usage if it was released for the Pyro instead of the Soldier and Demoman. This concept also include a development screenshot.

Poor trivia: While in American English, "Zamboni" is the more common name for an ice resurfacer, the developers were concerned over the trademark and chose to use the term ice resurfacer. (Removed from Galleria)
This piece of Trivia only mentions a very minor change to the map, that being the used name of an asset.
