now.Here's me finding and fixing all the places where "trivia" has been stacked with other templates... And it's been made special so that it won't stack! Lost for words. Rich Farmbrough, 11:12 25 September 2007 (GMT).
I can read this in this aricle: 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. Thanks.

, and more topically specific ones listed in the template documentation's "See also" section. This particular template is for reformatting salvageable information into coherent paragraphs that don't present factoids in a list. When the information is just plain irrelevant cruft, yes, it should be removed. —
