Template talk:Trouts
This template is intended to include those trouts and chars that have WP articles and a recognized common name. Intent was to list only primary species, not subspecies. --Mike Cline (talk) 15:17, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-11-15T15:17:00.000Z","author":"Mike Cline","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Mike_Cline-2013-11-15T15:17:00.000Z-Intent","replies":["c-Montanabw-2014-12-17T04:08:00.000Z-Mike_Cline-2013-11-15T15:17:00.000Z"]}}-->
- Is there a guideline on use of the plural? "Trouts" seems incorrect.

- According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, the plural may be "trout" or "trouts", although I have to confess I've never heard the latter - it sounds like a schoolboy error, lol. However, I suspect the reason for the name here is that there is already a (rather facile) template already called Template:Trout, so we can't use that unless we go through a rigmarole. We could try something like "Template:Trout species" or "Template:Species of trout" though, which would be a little more descriptive. --Bermicourt (talk) 19:12, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-10-01T19:12:00.000Z","author":"Bermicourt","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Bermicourt-2016-10-01T19:12:00.000Z-Montanabw-2014-12-17T04:08:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
