Trivia
Voting on: Removing a few words from WT:EL:

Other sections with other trivia and observations may be added, either under the heading “Trivia” or some other suitably explanatory heading.

The final result should be:

Other observations may be added, under the heading “Trivia”.

Rationale:
 * Disencouraging the creation of new, undiscussed trivia headings. Suppose someone wants to add in the entry: "'Foo' is the only word in the language X that has 'oo' in it." Regardless of the merits of that information, arguably it should be kept in the "Trivia" section, not in a new section called "Vowel count", "Orthographical properties" or any other name.
 * Minor edit: Shortening the text. Using less words to say "Other sections with other trivia and observations".

 * 3)  I don't think we should be permitting arbitrary headings in general. Could complicate any future transition to a more semantic/database-type format. Equinox ◑ 02:49, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1)  "Other observations" is too vague. This, that and the other (talk) 01:16, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * What do you think would be an improvement? -Xbony2 (talk) 17:42, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Decision

 * Passed (90%-10%) --Daniel Carrero (talk) 00:03, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Edited WT:EL accordingly. Also, if no one minds, I've split the "Anagrams and other trivia" section into "Anagrams" and "Trivia" sections. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 00:05, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
