Hey, I'd like to address an issue that I see cropping up over and over and over again on this Wiki.

People who say "This is the first time" or "This is the second time" something has happened in the trivia section. In case that's too vague, lemme explain.

There are some instances where it makes sense, ya' know. On the page I Live in Your Basement!, the fact "This is arguably the first Goosebumps book to be a psychological thriller" seems useful. It's one of the last books in the original series, but it is the first to fit into a very broad genre.

...But the trouble begins when people overuse this.


 * "This is the third Living Dummy book to feature a second dummy as an ally to Slappy instead of an enemy." (I Am Slappy's Evil Twin) - This is so bonkers specific! You could do this for anything.


 * "This is the first Goosebumps book to reveal that the main hero isn't really human after all." (The Girl Who Cried Monster) - Really? This is the eighth book in the series. OF COURSE IT IS GONNA BE DIFFERENT. That's the equivalent of saying, "Welcome to Dead House was the first Goosebumps book with supernatural stuff".


 * "This is the first book in which the parents saw Slappy in action and that the kids weren't lying." (NotLD2) - Again, so vague you could do this for anything. That's be like me saying, "NotLD3 is the first book to feature a bunch of dummies harassing a kid named Zane."

So waddayou think we should do? I'm honestly thinking about adding something like this to the ruleset.
