Club Penguin Wiki:Archive/Project Trivial

Hi guys. This isn't a vote, but it's more of a discussion regarding trivia sections in articles. For those of you more experienced users, I borrowed Zap's naming system for a forum by calling it 'Project' followed by some weird name. Anyways... I have (and a lot of others) got a problem with the trivia sections in articles. It seems like every editor just dumps any information they get into that section. We should call this the Club Penguin Trivia wiki, because every article seems to have all information in a trivia section. Funny thing is that they're not trivia at all.

Have a look at the Ice Rink article. The amount of trivia in that section is so wrong. Ever heard of an article? Articles are separated into several sections about one aspect of the subject in the mind. The trivia in that article should be put in different sections. Let me go through the whole trivia section in that article:

1. "You could also sit on the benches to be in the crowd and root for the blue team and/or red team." - There is nothing unusual or trivial about that. It is pretty self-explanatory, and should be in a "description" section or something.
2. "In Mission 1, the circle on the top right side (see picture) is cut by a penguin with a green snorkel. Therefore, some penguins believe there might be a new room under there saying: PEEK-A-BOO!. Some think that the penguin with a green snorkel opened one of the windows in the Cave (see picture) and dived up. That explains why there was water leaking." - Most of this is speculation. Some however is an encyclopedic explanation to it, and none of this should be in the trivia section. This is more suited to a "speculation" or "rumours" section.
3. "When the Soccer Pitch was replaced, more protests for the Ice Rink have been made." - Fluctuating tense for one, it should be since not when, if you want the sentence to be even close to grammatically correct. Or it should be had not have. Also, there's nothing trivial about this. HISTORY SECTIONS. We need so much more of them. So many editors are so preoccupied about what cool extra colour they found on their party hat, they don't even care to think about how the popularity of an item has changed over the years, or in what mediums was it featured in and so on...
4. "A glitch occurred on November 26, 2009. The map showed the Ice Rink but when the cursor was over the picture, the label said "Soccer Pitch"". This is the closest non-trivia thing that is in the trivia section to being trivial. There should be a glitches article for this though.
5. "Unlike the Soccer Pitch, there is only one stand." - Thank you! Some trivia.
