==Usage==

The above is a WikiWhale (''[[Megaptera]] wikipediensis'').  It is used for the purpose of making major adjustments to [[wiktionary:cluebat|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 [[Wikipedia:Whacking with a Wet Trout|Trout]].

===How to use===

Place <code><nowiki>{{whale}}</nowiki></code> on the [[Wikipedia:User pages|talk page]] of the user you wish to communicate with.  This will produce the above message.

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