That being said speculation has no place in the articles, however a link on that page can be posted to a speculation subarticle. The reader then doesn't have to see information that may or not be true unless they choose to. This would allow any speculative information to be added to the article without cluttering it up. Hmm, seems a bit excessive to make a subarticle for these where in many cases the speculative trivia is one or two bullet points at the most. How about a spoiler bar type scenario like these long Bug sections have? That way it's hidden by default so they can choose not to read it, and being hidden it doesn't clutter the article up?

That would work too. The main point is that if speculative information is gonna be allowed in an article it should be made clean and clearly stated that it is unconfirmed information. It would be good to make unconfirmed and no referenced information to be separate from the referenced information such as have trivia which is referenced under a subcat and speculative(non referenced) information under a separate subcat with that one being hidden.
