I don't agree that Trivia sections are redundant if a character profile is complete and up to date. Trivia sections are meant to feature some tidbits of character information that can be interesting but aren't worth in the History section. And the Notes section features some information about the character which is more specific than what the History section can delve into.

For example, taking Iron Man's page as an example, where would you mention in the History section that he owns Area 51, that his blood type is A+, that he's Aries, or that he hates Tolkien?

(At the moment of this message I have moved the paragraph regarding Stark's identity from Trivia to Notes)

The paragraph about the status of Stark's alter-ego is a more in-depth revision of what can be said in the History section. In the History section, it isn't necessary to say something more than (e.g.) "Some time after becoming an established super hero, Stark would protect his secret identity by claiming that Iron Man was his bodyguard." Which is much more concise and fitting for the History section than delving into Stark's initial clunky attempts at trying to hide his identity of Iron Man.

I do agree that it's necessary to make the history sections much more concise than it is now, specially when it comes to the modern history. Using the Spider-Man page as an example, approximately the first 4000 words in the History section cover 1963 to 2000. While over 7500 words are used to cover 2001 to 2016.
