[edit] Purpose

The purpose of this template is to discourage crufters and inexperienced Wikipedians from adding pop culture triva. This template does not in any way modify the WP:ATRIV guidelines for general articles, and applies only to article under WP:AIR of WP:MILHIST. This template makes it easier to catch further cruft added to articles with this template as anonymous users tend to ignore it and blatantly add their cruft.

[edit] Template popularity

This template is a substituted template so the "What links here" option does not reflect the template's true popularity. Once a template is substituted, the result is no longer linked to the template, making it difficult to find all pages displaying that text (though categories can sometimes relieve this).
