I recently received a message on my talk page from an editor who thinks this icon looks like a penis! =) -- œ^™ 17:11, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a discussion related to troutslapping at Wikipedia talk:Whacking with a Wet Trout#The trout is huge... Guy Macon (talk) 11:44, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I got the sandbox version of this template working the way I want. If no one objects before July 20, 2012 I will merge it into the main template. – Allen4names (IPv6 contributions) 20:25, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done I reverted the edit. Your modifications defeat the purpose of what this template is for.—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 18:12, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what you are talking about but you should look at the changes I made more carefully. The template should work only in the "User" namespace although I will allow that it may also work in the "User talk" namespace. – Allen4names (IPv6 contributions) 03:51, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On further consideration perhaps I should have used

{{#switch: {{FULLPAGENAME}}
|User:{{PAGENAME}}
|User talk:{{PAGENAME}}={{fullurl:{{ns:3}}:{{#titleparts:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1|1}}|action=edit&section=new&preloadtitle=Trouted&preload=Template%3ATroutme/preload}}
|#default={{fullurl:Category:Wikipedians open to trout slapping}} }}

in place of

{{#ifeq: {{FULLPAGENAME}} | User:{{PAGENAME}} | {{fullurl:{{ns:3}}:{{#titleparts:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1|1}}|action=edit&section=new&preloadtitle=Trouted&preload=Template%3ATroutme/preload}} | {{fullurl:Category:Wikipedians open to trout slapping}} }}

but I am hoping that this template can be changed so that Trout me (talk · contribs) does not get trouted by mistake. – Allen4names (IPv6 contributions) 19:17, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - Hopefully without any more problems. – Allen4names (IPv6 contributions) 03:47, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We should change | description = Trout this user to | description = Trout This User or | description = Trout this User to make it look better — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesjpk (talk • contribs) 18:08, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now:. Sentence case is usually used in the description lines of most templates. I think you might want to make a more cogent argument than "looks better". Rivertorch^FIRE_WATER 16:24, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
