My impression of the trivia sections is that they serve a very important purpose. They are the compromise that keeps the trivia out of the rest of the article. Now I am not saying I like them, but if you remove them then the contents of the section will work its way back into the article. It will be spread out where readers will find it and it will reflect poorly on us. Now if its keep in a trivia section the blow to our image is less or possibly totally mitigated, and I admit sometimes I am in the mood for a bit of trivia.
They should be flagged with a big TRIVIA WARNING template.
