In A171688, the two references to A169546 should be corrected to A168546.
I was about to submit the change when I lost the work (ctrl-Z and
ctrl-W are exchanged on QWERTY vs AZERTY keyboards...)

But anyway, all of this "trivial / nontrivial" stuff should indeed
better be deleted. It makes absolutely no sense to call all primes of
the form 6m+-1 nontrivial and 2,3 trivial,
it's rather very confusing and obfuscating  to use the term trivial /
nontrivial and obviously on purpose omit to say that this simply means
<= 3 resp. >3.
