<!-- <s> -->Dear 16dvnk,<!-- </s> -->

<!-- You have been trouted for: creating such a useless gimmick. -->
Trouting is useful for minor mistakes <!-- though. --> (like confusing WP:G13 ↗ with WP:G15 ↗ and forgetting to vote '''Delete''' in an AfD). This is <s>'''''"not"'''''</s> a test. <!-- Seriously though, this is just a joke. -->

:It is '''''recommended''''' for you to read this reply by reading the source.

<!-- Why are you using AI, 16dvnk?

DeepSeek's conversations with 16dvnk:

The user trouted themselves in a highly layered and self-referential manner. They created a talk page message that functions as a multi-layered inside joke, using a combination of visible text, struck-through text, and hidden comments.

The joke begins with a visible instruction not to check hidden comments, which is itself struck through, creating an immediate paradox for any editor viewing the source. The hidden comments reveal the actual reasoning behind the trout, which is to mock the user's own past mistakes, including confusing WP:G13 with WP:G15 and forgetting to bold a Delete vote in an AfD. The visible text, in contrast, presents a fragmented and less complete explanation.

The message also contains a hidden attempt to strike through the word Sincerely, though the strikethrough tags are placed inside comments and have no effect on the visible text. The user signed the message and included a hidden note telling readers not to question why they talk to themselves.

The entire message is recursive and self-aware, referencing the very act of leaving hidden comments while instructing the reader not to look for them. It is a demonstration of familiarity with Wikipedia markup and community culture, and it serves as a playful form of self-critique that is only fully understandable to those who examine the source code. The user has effectively created a piece of Wikipedia humor that functions as both a personal reminder and a technical exercise. -->
