I think nearly all of the problems you describe could be more functionally addressed by shunting them under a *SHOW* thingy. (Don't know what the technical term is for one of those, but they are everywhere on Wikipedia- namespace.)
In fact, since trivia sections are offensive to the sight to many, would not it be useful stopgap to put all those too into a collapsed form where each reader can expand them, if they are truly curious... ?
