Hey guys, Lefty here. It's... been a while hasn't it?

So even though I'm not very active anymore (and by that I mean 55 edits in the last 2 years), I do still check back here every now and then. And I've noticed a little something that has been getting more and more extreme in the last few months. I'm talking about the "New Things" section on episode pages and in the episode infoboxes. This is where we list new things the episode introduces.

Historically, this section was used to mention that this is the first episode to contain a certain blocker or a certain level type or an unlockable. But lately, I've noticed some VERY bizarre things popping up in the "New Things" sections. And I think calling some of these so called "new things" this really are a stretch. And this has been permeating every recent episode page for the newer episodes.

Here are some actual examples I've found in a quick browse through random episode pages, and some of these I deem a little ridonkulous:


 * Colourbomb in 1-layer chests in timed levels.


 * Colourbomb in a timed level with four colours.


 * Mystery Candy Cannon and Striped Candy Cannon in same level.


 * Candy Frog and Lockolate in the same level.


 * Candy Cake in a 6-colour mixed level.


 * Candy Frog in Conveyor Belt in an Ingredient level.


 * Coconut Wheel in Locked Chest in a level with blocker orders.


 * Orders for colours that do not spawn and a chocolate order in the same level.


 * Bobber in a quadrant level.


 * Chameleon Candies in a moves level with 4 colours.

And this is only a few examples. There are countless more. Some of these are just so ridiculously trivial that I feel they belong more in the trivia sections of the levels these "new things" belong to, rather than being presented as a new thing that comes with the episode. The section used to be used only for major additions, such as a new blocker or new feature. I do believe certain things, like "first 2-colour level" are major enough to be kept, or maybe even "first locked ingredient", but things like the examples above are just so trivial.

So guys, what do you think? Do you think it's time we moved some of these trivial things to the level trivia pages, or should we keep it as it is? Obviously, some regulations on what is major enough for the "new things" section would have to be laid down, which will probably be a separate post.
