'''When proposing a trivia, please remember to:'''
*Sign your posts '''by typing four tildes (<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>).''' This will automatically leave your username and a timestamp, so we can tell who you are and when you posted.
*Preview your edits to prevent formatting glitches.
*You can indent your posts by putting colons (<code>:</code>) at the beginning of each line. In long discussion threads, this can help separate comments and make it easier to tell who is replying to who.
*Make sure it's readable.
*Identify what category it is in. Make sure to attach <code><nowiki><font color="Gold">CATEGORY HERE</font></nowiki></code>.
**Please note that the DYK will be separated into five groups; <code>Characters & Groups</code>, <code>Events & History</code>, <code>Technology & Locations</code>, <code>Weapons & Vehicles</code> and <code>Miscellaneous</code>.
