Fixed Talk page.

Talk page was [[Talk:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] I changed it to [[{{NAMESPACE}}_Talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] And I tested it and on the template page it takes me here. --Actown 06:47, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Category.Archived ?

I think this template as well as Template:Talkarchive should be placed into a category such as Archive, Archived, or Archives, thereby allowing a quick check using Recentchangeslinked of any clueless edits or vandalism done to any archived pages (barring template removal/blanking). Example: Uncyclopedia:Special:Recentchangeslinked/Category:Archives Splarka (rant) 05:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Ah, there we go. Check out the newly created subcategories in Category:Wikipedia history. They're organized by {{ARTICLESPACE}} (for {{Archive}}) or {{TALKNAMESPACE}} (for {{Talkarchive}}). ~MDD4696 04:29, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Colour

Could we use a better colour?

Subpages

When the template is used on a subpage, the talk page is attached to the {{BASEPAGENAME}}. Should {{TALKPAGENAME}} not be used instead? --Caorongjin (talk) 21:35, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Text changes

The merged template currently has the following texts:

  • For talk spaces: This page is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.
  • For talk spaces: This page is an archive. Do not edit the contents of this page. Please direct any additional comments to the current talk page.

I would propose changing this to

  • For talk spaces: This page is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.
  • For talk spaces: This page is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current discussion page.

The only difference between the namespaces are then that we don't refer to talk pages at all when it's not on a talk page. and that instead of linking to the talk page it links to the parent page (non-subpage or whatever you would call it). This also adds a period parameter for non-talk archives. --Trialpears (talk) 22:10, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
