Yes. The only time Trivia should be listed alongside normal tropes is on Creator pages (and In-Universe examples).

Recap pages are like works pages; trivia goes on the Trivia/ subpage. (And YMMV goes on the YMMV subpage, etc.)

I know there's some differences but I don't remember them and this isn't one anyway.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

One difference is that no spoiler tags are allowed on Recap pages.

^ Someone had better tell that to the The Twilight Zone (1959) Recap page "Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up". Almost every trope example in the list on that page has spoilers.

There are also spoilers in "The Arrival", "Printers Devil", "Ring A Ding Girl" and "The Self Improvement Of Salvadore Ross".

If spoilers are forbidden on recap pages, that's a rule that isn't very well enforced at all.

^ The rule is on the Administrivia Spoilers Off page.

"If the article is an episode recap, no spoiler font. The nature of the thing is to give detailed information about the episode. A person who wants both all the details and to not see spoilers is not a person we can help."

As per Spoilers Off, I have removed the spoiler font from all of the The Twilight Zone (1959) episodes listed above.
