Since the 1960's, the word trivia has denoted any knowledge that is not necessary yet good to know. Most trivia relates to topics on popular culture. The term is sometimes used to refer to information that is useful for quizzes. Ironically, the traditional meaning of trivia was basic education, the kind that was necessary to progress to higher educational qualifications.
Trivia can be categorized into two primary types: connective trivia and stand-alone trivia. Connective trivia usually links two or more topics together. This type can be further divided into three types. The first type of connective trivia is that which is essential to all the subjects that it links. The second type is trivia that is important to only some of the subjects that it connects.
The third type of connective trivia is the type that has no relation to any of the subjects it talks about. As the name suggests, stand-alone trivia talks about just one subject. They are usually ideal for being blended into other articles like the ones they appear in.
While dealing with trivia there are a few things that should be considered. Trivia should preferably be integrated into a relevant discussion. If no such article exists, but would be appropriate, it must be created. Some trivia entries have more relevance to other subjects, and they should be shifted accordingly. Trivia that is irrelevant should be excluded from articles.
Unless trivia is improved and of good quality, it should be removed unless is it a temporary addition to an article. Often, trivia can be integrated into different parts of an article where it may seem more relevant. This is an ideal way to handle trivia that cannot be removed. |
