Template:Check talk wp
 | This template is used on 253,000+ pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to it should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in a single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This is the {{check talk wp}} meta-template.
This template is invisible except under the conditions described below.
Usage[edit]
This template may be incorporated into other templates that are intended to be used only on talk pages or "Wikipedia:" space pages. If a template containing it is added to a page in any subject space other than Wikipedia space, then a warning message will be displayed encouraging people to use that template only on talk pages. The current text of the warning message is:
It also adds the pages to Category:Pages with misplaced templates for easier tracking and rectification.
This template can simply be used like this:
{{check talk wp}}
But if you want to have the ability to selectively turn off this template, for instance if you show your template on a Help page, then use this template like this:
{{check talk wp| nocat={{{nocat|}}} }}
Then you can feed "nocat = true" to your template when you demonstrate it on a page, and then this template will not show any error message and will not categorize it.
