Little Tail Wiki:Trivia
Trivia is a section in a video game's, book's, and most commonly a character's article that quickly lists off interesting tidbits of the subject matter that don't quite fit anywhere in the rest of the content.
This section has been a point of contention within multiple wikis, and here in Little Tail Wiki we attempt to thwart any issues by providing a strict set of guidelines. If an editor plans to create a trivia section, it is heavily advised that they follow the rules here.
Citing Trivia
In order to provide proof of any line of trivia, please use the reference tag to cite it if possible. This is heavily encouraged as it gives all editors, administrators and even readers a reliable source of information that could come off as false if left out.
Here's an example of properly citing trivia:
*Panta was referenced in the English PSX version of ''Persona 2: Eternal Punishment''. This easter egg is not present in future re-releases.<ref>[youtube or wiki-hosted clip of relevant gameplay]></ref>
Speculatory Writing
Speculatory writing is prohibited from both the main body and trivia section of any given article. This was a major issue within our previous host and had caused false information to spread online.
If an editor is unsure of something that they plan to write down or something that is already present within the section, it is advised to do thorough research. If this isn't possible, please either contact fellow editors/admins or omit whatever "trivia" comes off as too speculatory.
Redundant Information
Any information considered repetitious or redundant is discouraged from being added into the trivia section. This includes character namesakes (which is already included in character infoboxes), shared voice actors, physical resemblances that are painfully obvious, and so on.
This is especially true for secret endings to certain games, such as those in the Fuga series. Do not include anything from secret content in the trivia section.
