Placement[edit]
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.
Usage[edit]
To help with the categorization of articles, you may use the optional date parameter, e.g. {{trivia|date=May 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=May 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[edit]
