Should wikipoints given for submitting trivia questions be changed? (It is 1 point per trivia question right now.)

For those who have forgotten, we do have a trivia section and for every trivia question you submit gives one wiki point. Should this be changed? By the way, who still uses the trivia section?

@FrankCanada97: I used to be way into it back in the day. I wrote a bunch on my old account (of which I've since forgotten the password).

A lot of the trivia is too specific anyway. The whole system needs an overhaul to add more functionality and make it better.

I'll be honest. I don't think trivia is worth putting a whole lot of development effort into. Personally, I never use it anymore.
 
As for the question: maybe a good way to renew interest in the system would be to increase the point count for submitted questions. The only problem then would be the number of people spamming horrible trivia just for a few measly points. Trivia should be a vetted system like wiki editing until you've gained enough trust to go to town.

I wasn't even aware that adding trivia questions gave wiki points.

It's a fun little side thing, but not a cornerstone of the community, so the points are fine. Takes a second to churn out a question anyway, and if the points were too easy... it would take effort away from the wiki.

Apparently since the beginning. Nobody would notice it because, after all, it is only one point.
