 ==End of the Article==
 ===Trivia===
-The Trivia section should briefly outline interesting points about the subject, even if they appeared previously in the article. Everything in each trivia point should be linked to its article if one exists, even things that had previously been linked, and even the subject itself. This is because Trivia points will appear on the [[Main Page]], so viewers should be able to reach any page mentioned in the trivia point.
+Trivia from article pages appears on the [[Main Page]], and in order for that to work properly, a few guidelines must be met:
+*Content guidelines
+**The Trivia section outlines interesting "trivial" information about the subject, even if this information already appeared in the article.
+**Internal links should be used wherever possible, even if the link had previously appeared in the article, and even if the link is to the article itself.
+*Technical constraints
+**The Trivia section must use a level two header (<nowiki>==Trivia==</nowiki>) and contain nothing but Trivia points.
+**Each point of trivia is a single line of text (i.e. no newlines, no {{Temlink|Quote}} templates, etc.) preceded by an asterisk (*). References may be used.
+Since it appears on the Main Page, Trivia is closely watched for vandalism and held to high quality standards.
