Placement
Editors should not use this template to tag sections they consider trivial. In accordance with Wikipedia:Trivia sections, this template should only be placed at the top of sections that contain indiscriminate and unselective lists.
Usage
To help with the categorization of articles, you may use the optional date parameter, e.g. {{trivia|date=March 2012}}. Articles tagged with this template without the parameter will eventually be given the parameter by a bot.
The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste {{trivia|date=March 2012}}
Other templates
