Wikipedia:WikiProject Trivia Cleanup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shortcut: WP:WPTCU

This project deals with trivia sections on articles, and cleaning them up. Many articles on Wikipedia have too much trivia, and need to be shortened (or just removed altogether). This project focuses on finding, tagging and cleaning articles with too much trivia. Trivia sections shouldn't always be removed altogether - they may just require shortening.

As a note, trivia isn't always just in trivia sections. It can also be found in notes, miscellanea and other sections. If it's just a list of random things: it's probably trivia.

[edit] Goals

1. Clean up trivia sections that are too long.
2. Add useful trivia from sections into the article, then removing the trivia section altogether (when needed).

[edit] Too much trivia status

• As of March 28, 2007 Category:Articles with large trivia sections has a total of 1139 articles in it, and just seems to keep growing.
