I've seen a few contributions recently removing 'Trivia Track' from other features, pointing out that this is pointless info now we have a Trivia subtitle tickbox.

Generally speaking I personally agree, BUT the Rules (which maybe out of date on this by now) still specifically say:

Examples of valid Other Features:
    Trivia Tracks

... and if they are valid, removing them would be against the Rules...

Is there some general consensus on this or should we just fight it out in the voting every time until the Rules eventually get updated to reflect the state of the program?

As long as it is in the rules it should remain till such time the rule is changed. I would vote no to such a contribution... pointing to that rule.

To me, this is not unlike Commentary tracks, which are entered both in Features and in Audio Tracks. Superfluous? Perhaps, but it's there.

That is the way I always read it as well... just something we track in both places.

Thanks for your thoughts; given what the Rules say I think I must agree until any change is made  - though I probably wouldn't go to the effort of adding TT to Other features where it's not present (if it's in the subs) I don't think it should be removed as it is perfectly valid

This. I would actually like to see a checkbox for trivia tracks under "Features".

That would be a good idea and definitely solve the potential confusion
