Plants vs. Zombies Wiki:Manual of Style/Trivia policy

Welcome to this list of rules about how deals with trivia.

Why have this?
That answer is one which is best answered by explaining what was going on when this page was made. Trivia was essentially used as a place to mention whatever one wanted about the article. Most of the trivia being added was duplicates of already existent facts, or did not belong in the Trivia section because of assorted reasons.

Trivia Rules

 * Trivia must relate to the article.
 * Trivia must make sense, and be true.
 * Trivia are small, generally unimportant facts. Having major facts Trivia is odd and does not contribute to a clear article. In the exact same way, some unimportant facts are too unimportant to belong in trivia.
 * Bad fact: Peashooter, Repeater, Snow Pea... are the only plants which shoot peas. Too many plants shoot peas for that to be good trivia!
 * Bad fact: Sunflowers produce sun and should always be brought and used. Too important to belong in trivia! Take that to the Strategies section!
 * Opinions are NOT trivia. Facts and opinions are two different things, and trivia is always facts.
 * Trivia is not visual, such as "Wall-nut is one of the few brown plants in the game."
 * Trivia is ALWAYS about games, and never about the Wiki.
 * Trivia cannot be a duplicate of another piece of trivia.
 * Speculation is not trivia. Keep it on your blogs, forums, or user page.

Good trivia examples
A good trivia is made up of at least one of these.
 * Article is part of a limited list of relatives which all share a common trait (one of seven zombies which can get past a Tall-nut by themselves without eating it.)
 * Article has a reference to something (Not OK Corral is a reference to the shootout at the OK Corral Bar in Tombstone, Arizona.)
 * Unique odd facts relating to the article which does not effect the game (Power Lily is the only premium plant to not appear in the first game).
 * Specific interactions between the article and another entity (Infi-nut's Plant Food Ability goes over Water lanes in Pirate Seas levels.)
 * Glitches directly associated with the article (Prior to an update, Cherry Bombs can be Plant Perked.

Bad trivia examples
Bad trivia should never exist on articles, and a bad trivia is made of at least one of these.
 * Wiki-facts.
 * Speculation (Unknown how Infi-nut can be eaten because it is a hologram)
 * Article is part of a relatively large group of relatives which share a common trait (One of x plants which does not shoot straight at zombies)
 * Common interactions (Kernel-pult's butter paralyzes zombies which hit it)
 * Glitches which cannot be replicated or reproduced (background bug)

Single-game pages

 * Place Trivia in a list in order of priority. More noteworthy trivia is placed above less important, lower-priority trivia.
 * The list is all one list, with bullet points for each individual piece of trivia.
 * Some trivia is talking about another piece of trivia. These are indented below the original trivia.

Multi-game pages

 * Trivia is put in a certain amount of lists associated with how many games said article appears in. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare articles have their own articles because of how they are strongly different from the original games.
 * Order for trivia is based upon importance.
 * Ordered layout is the following, each a subheading and assuming said article is in every game:
 * General-Trivia always true about the article, regardless of which game.
 * Plants vs. Zombies- Facts true in Plants vs. Zombies
 * Plants vs. Zombies Adventures- Facts true in Plants vs. Zombies Adventures
 * Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time-Facts true in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time
 * Each list is bullet pointed for each piece of trivia.
