Template:User trout

 * Unused user box Mhiji 00:57, 4 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment While the userbox itself may be unused the underlying code (or some derivative of it?) is in use on a number of user pages as hardcoded userboxes. VernoWhitney (talk) 12:24, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Could still be used. The trout thing is a popular meme, I'm actually kinda surprised noone uses this, could be because it's not listed in the userbox gallery? -- &oelig; &trade; 18:48, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment This is widely used from User:SheffieldSteel/Trout. As to which name space is really more appropriate for something in such wide use, I am not sure.  Jim Miller  See me 19:19, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep and fix it so it works correctly. The message "In an emergency, this user may be slapped with a trout." is an important one.  It conveys openness to being criticized or corrected in a lighthearted way.  I put a hardcoded version on my userpage, because Template:User trout also adds a big box about it being a candidate for deletion.  Guy Macon  23:22, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
