Trivia

[edit]

Voting on: Removing a few words from WT:EL#Anagrams and other trivia:

Other sections with other trivia and observations may be added, either under the heading “Trivia” or some other suitably explanatory heading.

The final result should be:

Other observations may be added, under the heading “Trivia”.

Rationale:

  • Disencouraging the creation of new, undiscussed trivia headings. Suppose someone wants to add in the entry: "'Foo' is the only word in the language X that has 'oo' in it." Regardless of the merits of that information, arguably it should be kept in the "Trivia" section, not in a new section called "Vowel count", "Orthographical properties" or any other name.
  • Minor edit: Shortening the text. Using less words to say "Other sections with other trivia and observations".

Schedule:

  3. Support I don't think we should be permitting arbitrary headings in general. Could complicate any future transition to a more semantic/database-type format. Equinox ◑ 02:49, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support. Ultimately I'd even get rid of the Trivia sections. - -sche (discuss) 03:20, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

[edit]
  1. Oppose "Other observations" is too vague. This, that and the other (talk) 01:16, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
