Trouted

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
You have been trouted for: not knowing that the personal pronoun its (meaning "belonging to it") does not have an apostrophe! See this diff... it's (with apostrophe) always stands for it is or it has. No offence and sorry for being utterly pedantic but as this is my personal bugbear, I just had to mention it! BTW, thanks for jumping in and helping me with the 2014 WSC, I've been looking up the matches that the BBC are showing this week. This afternoon's will be a good one!

Lee. You've generated lots of links to 1999–00 snooker season when you meant 1999–2000 snooker season. Could create a redirect but probably better to change them. Nigej (talk) 06:52, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Template:World Women's Snooker Championship
Hi, thanks for creating this. I've added in some related articles to the template, could you review that and amend as required please? I think I'll add in the champion's names, unless you already have that underway. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:04, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi BennyOnTheLoose - I might play around with the formatting, but it's best to get these things made. I'd suggest making a separate template for winners, similar to how I've handled Template:World pool champions and Template:World pool championship as you are talking about two different things.

League table coding for play-off articles
Hi Lee, thanks for reviewing one of those play-off articles at GAN. I'll get to the majority of the points in due course but I can't quite come up with a scheme to address your concern over the placement of the league table. I fiddled a little and the best I could come up with was this which is sub-optimal. The problem is that the table is just considered part of the prose which then crashes against the side of the infobox. There doesn't seem to be a way of coding it to sit below the infobox. Any thoughts on what you'd prefer and how to code it? The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 12:56, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- On my screen that still clashes with the infobox. It will be dependent on horizontal resolution. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 13:10, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- Indeed, I suspect it'll depend on the screen size/resolution. Perhaps left align the table, or as a surprise, you could do some funky stuff and attach it to the infobox itself. I suspect WP:FOOTY might be a better location, as I can't think of a technical way to do this for all screen sizes (although, on a bigger screen, it's less important.)
