Hmm...

The problem with stuff like this is that it's highly subjective and I doubt any two people really have exactly the same idea of what qualifies as trivia or not. Just to give an idea of how I personally feel about stuff... I'll give a run-down on that list:


 * Ruby is lefthanded- that can be in her description;

This is definitely trivia. I don't think it fits into any of the other sections very well.


 * the girls having no ties to actual fairy tales should be on some general page since it refers to RWBY characters in general;

This can be removed, this presumably came from a time ages ago (as in, pre-Volume 1) when people weren't so clear on how the series wasn't an action-packed re-telling of fairytales so much as its own story with characters that loosely allude to them. By this point that's obvious.


 * Ruby and Adam not being related isn't so much a trivia thing but more of a "stfu you retarded anons";

This one warrants comment because it was directly commented upon by Monty. Any details relevant to one individual character that were specifically commented on by the crew of the show are worth noting.


 * Cookies and strawberries could be under personal traits?

Stuff like this can remain. It's trivia. Miscellaneous facts. Liking cookies and strawberries isn't really a personality trait.


 * "Ruby is the first character to be playable..." that feels unneeded. The game is already out and it's a 4-player game.

This can be removed. If anything this should be moved to the lead section / intro of the article since it deals with a significant piece of media. Actually, all of our lead / intro sections are bloody awful. They're more like a rough introduction of their first appearance, rather than an overview of their actual role in the series, which is what they should be. They all need to be rewritten. ugh.


 * "Ruby is originally from an island named Patch" That's definitely under biography.

Definitely.


 * Weiss: "She has admitted to Ruby that she always wanted bunk beds as a child." unneeded

This one can be removed, as it's also listed in the Personality subsection.


 * "Until the episode "No Brakes", Blake had never fought on her own..." unneeded, or put in her battles page.

Absolutely agreed, stuff like this doesn't really need to be noted.


 * "She tells Ozpin that she grew up outside of the kingdoms..." Half of this is already written in her bio/ the episode. If it stays it can just be: "She is one of the few people to be accepted into Beacon without going to a prior combat school"

Agreed on this one. The combat school thing could stay since it seems to be an exceptional case. Though even that could go under the History section.


 * "Blake is the only member of Team RWBY that doesn't have any known siblings." this is fluff. This is the sort of trivia that can be made for any sharacter: Jaune is the only person of team JNPR that has more than one sibling, Pyrrha is the only person whose family or relatives have not been mentioned, RWBY is the only team current generation, that we've seen so far, that has two siblings...

Agreed 100%.


 * "In her trailer, the photo that Yang shows to Junior..." Is this needed? I mean, is it? I'm not sure.

Personally I'd leave this one, it's a sort of behind-the-scenes fact. That said, I can see how this would probably be better suited to "Yellow" Trailer trivia.


 * "Yang would be the next playable character..." Unneeded.

Yeah, probably unneeded. It could be moved to the intro or lead section.

Keep in mind that this is just what I think. It's really cool that we are discussing this and if you disagree with the above, it'd be great to talk further to get on the same sort of page, before we do a big sweep of the trivia. And note that this is before we even start with the whole Behind the Scenes overhaul.
