Miscellaneous facts are allowed on Trivia subpages, provided they are actual facts and are about the work. That "Meta" header is unnecessary though and should be removed (and by extension so should the "Games" header) and the troper that added it should be informed about not adding "meta" examples to pages.

General trivia is allowed on trivia pages as long as it's separated from the examples list. However, the first page using "The Game" and "Meta" as headers is weird (the first header is unnecessary and the second should be "general trivia" or something), and the House of Mouse thing can be listed as general trivia but shouldn't be masquerading a Useful Note as a trope. I also don't understand what's going on with layout on the House of Mouse page. Why is it split in two? Is it covering two different works?

EDIT: Ninja'd.

As I understand it, Useful Notes entries should not be used like tropes in this way. I'd remove it.

I went ahead and moved the High Definition point to a new miscellaneous section, adjusting it accordingly and citing how useful notes pages can't be used as tropes. It now reads as follows:

Miscellaneous:

  • Mickey Mouse Works was Disney's first animated show to be produced in widescreen High Definition, despite being made years before the format became dominant.

Be kind.
