Placement
[మార్చు]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.
Usage
[మార్చు]To help with the categorization of articles, please use the optional date parameter, e.g. {{trivia|date=నవంబరు 2024}}
. Articles 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 is to copy and paste {{trivia|date=నవంబరు 2024}}
Optional parameters
[మార్చు]|date=నవంబరు 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=
a.k.a.|2=
Location of page or section to which to suggest moving the relevant material, e.g.:|to=#Filmography
or|2=Nocturnal underwater basketweaving#Techniques
. If the|small=
option is turned on, this information does not display, but may still be useful to editors.|section=
a.k.a.|sect=
If given a positive value (y, yes, 1, true), will change "This article" to "This section". If given some other value, will change it to use that value, e.g. "This table", "This list".|1=
The second of those uses can also be done as the first unnamed or numbered parameter:{{trivia|section}}
or{{trivia|1=timeline|2=History of burritos}}
|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}}
