Should the bit about localizing what is "temple" in most other languages to "palace" in English (in early Zelda games) be in Trivia? I think it's a fairly significant and interesting bit of information about the history of this series that should be mentioned somewhere on this wiki, but I'm not sure whether it should be part of the main article text or in a Trivia section. Given how many of the dungeons in the article it applies to (i.e. more than half of them, making the entire category of "palace" to some extent an incidental creation of this localization practice), it seems a bit odd to put it in Trivia, but on the other hand it is a fact about translation, which IIRC are normally not supposed to be in the main article text.

I guess it kind of depends on your writing style. We're fairly lenient about that here (as lenient as a wiki can be, anyways) so I doubt it'll really bother many people either way. Personally I'd have it as trivia. — Hylian King [*] 08:22, 4 January 2012 (EST)
