-==Expand trivia policy to better explain what can and can't be trivia (Jan 12, 2024 - Jan 26, 2024)==
-WiKirby's quality standards have always been high, and they keep going up, which I personally consider a good thing. However, sometimes we raise the standards without knowing and don't formalize it, which is what this proposal is about.
-So, Wikirby has a very good [[WiKirby:Trivia policy|trivia policy]]. In particular, we have limits to size of trivia to avoid what happens in many other wikis where the trivia section becomes so big it's sometimes even bigger than the article's main body. However, one issue that I still see happen is that many times trivia points are added, and then a more experienced editor comes and either removes the trivia point entirely, or moves it to the article's main body. There's nothing wrong with that, for the record, but I've realized lately that we have no formal guidelines that tell us to do that. We do have instead a lot of unwritten rules, that some more experienced editors appear to just know, but it feels unfair to newer editors.
-With that in mind, and also with the hope to further increase WiKirby's high quality standards, [[User:Gigi/Sandbox#What_is_trivia|I've put together a draft of a section I would like to add to the trivia policy, a section that defines what is and isn't trivia as best as possible]]. Sure, this is not a black and white thing, but this was my attempt to write those unwritten rules I talked about. I feel the way to summarize what I want is that '''I want trivia to be the last place we should put something'''. Really, only if it doesn't fit anywhere else. Trivia usually is like the default section to add something new when you don't know where to fit it, and while in a way that's good, in another that feels like not a good practice for people who want to learn of policies of the wiki. If that makes sense.
-Also, just to be clear, the draft I linked is that, a draft. Feel free to suggest any changes, but that's the overall content I want in that section. If this passes, I likely won't just copy and paste that, I will do a revision with comments presented alongisde other admins.
-What all that said, what do you all think? {{User:Gigi/sig}} 12:26, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
