*"Trivia" is for trivial information, such as little details that does not add much to the subject, could even be disregarded, but are fun to know.

;"Appearances" in articles for real-world media


Pages for real-world media (e.g. games) have lists for the in-universe entities that appear within that work. In these lists, the appearances are grouped into categories (characters, technology, etc.) and listed in alphabetical order within their respective categories. In order to prevent these lists from becoming too extensive, less significant appearances or mentioned-only subjects may not be included.
