Trivia is things we can prove about the Witches like names, references, things in production notes that explain more about them. Speculation is things we guess but we have no real proof. An example would be when the game first came out and we found out Mitama's wish was to destroy Kamihama. Trivia would be "she's not the first magical girl to make a wish like this, another person made a similar wish before". Speculation is when everyone guessed she might be Walpurgisnacht before we found out what her real Witch form is. I hope this helps explain things better. Mostly Trivia is better unless it's something where we are really guessing and have no proof, then it's speculation. But keep up the good work! Sondenise (talk) 15:45, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation.
I am concerned that some of the Trivia may be Speculative. For example, there is multiple evidences and almost certainty that Oshiti is derived from Yaoya Oshichi. By the way, the theory that Raspberry is derived from the Golden Raspberry awards is (I believe this But…) analogical and could be Speculative. However, to begin with, there is no Speculation section for individual witches' pages, and it seems that Speculation section is rarely used recently. So, I understand it as the basic policy: any discussion of witches and doppel's names should be in the Trivia section (As a side note, I found an exception about this. In this page, Paola's name's Trivia is includes in Speculation section. Should I copy this to Paola's page? ).--Mokyubacky (talk) 18:41, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
