(Well, short of something unforeseen happening,) All your idea does is segregate the information even more and for no particular reason. In fact, you sticking quotes under skins almost makes me want to move skins to the Background page (because some even have alternate lore, such as Infernal Nasus.)

Also, I'm failing to understand why Tesla is happy with how you've handled Skins and Trivia when they are still separate articles. That's fine. I recognise that my suggestion might not be taken on board I'm just throwing them out there. But you answer your own question later:

'"I am happy to move Skins to somewhere else. I only placed them in Gameplay because they don't really suit anywhere in particular (they're cosmetic; which isn't gameplay, lore or development). However, I do not want to create a Skins-only page (and I also do not want to keep the current Skins/Trivia page - because Trivia should go with Development). I could just put Skins in Development, but that doesn't sound right. I stuck it in Gameplay because Dota, Hon, Smite, official LoL site, LoLWiki (the other one) all put skins on the same page as the abilities - and I assumed that they must've justified it."

They don't fit into any other pages, so the only solution is to give them their own page, but you don't want to do that. It's as simple as that. You justifiy why they shouldn't go under any of the other tabs, but you just state you don't want them to be another page without giving any reasoning.

And I know that several skins have backgrounds to them. Those could go on the same skin pages. For example, the whole 'Recon Team' thing for Cho'Gaths Battlecast skin would go under his Battlecast Cho'Gath tab. I just stuck it in media originally but I'll move it over so you can get an idea.

The main issue with the skins is the amount of both seperate and doubled up content they bring. As you've pointed out, skins dont really fit into any other page, but they some skins have enough media and trivia about themselves that could be put on either of those repective pages.

The way I tried to think of it was: 'I want to know everything about X skin for X champ. What would be the best place to look?' Hence why I put the skin related trivia on the skins page. Because you're looking at that skin specifically, and all related information to it. It shouldn't make sense for me to look for the skin splashart in one section, the quotes about the skin in another, the trivia in another, and media (if any) in another.
