*Be mindful when creating or adding to a trivia section. If a trivia section already has five bullet points or more, see if you can move any of it to a different section of the article or to another article.

*Trivia sections should ''never'' have sub-headings. If there's enough information on a specific trivia point for it to have its own section, then it's ''not trivial'' and should have its own section elsewhere.

==Spacing and line breaks==

*Line breaks should be used to break up text into more digestible paragraphs. Too few breaks causes paragraphs to become excessively long and impossible to read, but too many line breaks disrupts the flow of the text. The exact size a paragraph "should be" is subjective, but in general, a paragraph should be just long enough to develop an idea or point. One-sentence paragraphs should be used sparingly.

*If a topic would require a lot of short paragraphs, such as describing an [[upgrade]] that has many distinct effects, use a bullet-point list instead of a paragraph. Bullet-point lists in the lede are acceptable.

*Don't insert more empty space between paragraphs. In the source editor, a paragraph break is created by inserting two line breaks, but using more than two breaks creates a much larger gap between paragraphs that is unnecessary.
