Placement
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
To help with the categorization of articles, you may use the optional date parameter, e.g. {{trivia|date=September 2008}}. 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=September 2008}} 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
