User:RainingPain17/What I think of trivia sections

Many users asked me why do I remove large quantities of text from trivia sections of articles.

I've been on the Wiki (unregistered though) since 2011, and one of my favorite parts of articles are the Trivia sections. There are contributors that insert pretty good info in there, and you can discover lots of things and all.

 BUT

There are also users that insert completely obvious or uninteresting information in there. Most of the editors who contribute to the Trivia sections. With all the respect I have for them, I gotta say, leave these Trivia sections alone.

Trivia sections are meant to have interesting information, random facts that can be kinda interesting. But seriously. These "A is the only B that C" trivia facts are completely uninteresting. Let's pick an example. Franklin Clinton is the second African american protagonist after Carl Johnson. Okay, that's true, but honestly...who cares about Franklin being the Xth protagonist in the Series? We know that he is african american, but there's no need to go further. Also, those who dare insert obvious facts in Trivia sections...

Also, when inserting Trivia facts, make sure that they cannot be added anywhere else in the article. Trivia sections should not contain elements referring to the description (just put the fact in there). No. Trivia sections should be only about facts that cannot be placed anywhere else.


 * What should not be included in Trivia sections in my opinion
 * "A is the only B that C"
 * "A is the first B to C"
 * "A is the Bth time that C"
 * "A shares its B with C" - TBH, I never believed reused assets were trivial; it is commonly done throughout the series
 * Glitches - As a GTA Encyclopedia, we should not be able to tell people how to exploit the game, especially if it is to annoy innocent online players. Keep glitches to a Glitches page, but leave the pages alone with this.
