Smash!

You've been squished by a whale!
Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something really silly.

Template documentation

For the article template on whales, see Template:Cetacea.

Usage

The above is a WikiWhale (Megaptera wikipediensis). It is used for the purpose of making major adjustments to clue levels in Wikipedians when a trout just doesn't cut it. Besides, who doesn't want to be squished? For experienced editors who have done something rather minor, use a Trout.

How to use

Place {{whale}} on the talk page of the user you wish to communicate with. This will produce the above message.

See also

• {{trout}} – the original, full-size trout
• {{minnow}} – another small version, though still centered and intrusive enough to send the message
• {{trout small}} – a more reasonably sized, less-intrusive, left-aligned trout, suitable for trout victims to use as a replacement after getting the message
• {{troutme}} – a small auto-trout icon for the top of your userpage
• {{chips}} – a small side of chips to go with your fish
• {{whalemeat}} – if the Wikiwhale is overzealously used too often
• {{OverdoneTrout}} – a response to use against those who overzealously use the {{trout}} template
• {{self-whale}} – when a trout just isn't enough
