Talkpage handling
jhyukBy default, a check specifying a talk page is performed on the corresponding subject page (it's associated page in mainspace, or in Template space, etc.).
- To check the talkpage itself, both use
|talk=yesand the talk page name. {{Is redirect|Talk:Autism|talk=yes}}→
Background. By default, when entering a Talkpage to check (like Talk:Autism), the check is performed on the subject page. This stems from the module used. For example:
- Page to check:
Talk:Autism:{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism}} - Current pages status: Autism is a redirect, A̱lyiat:Autism is not a redirect (it has content).
{{Is redirect}}returns:{{Is redirect|Autism}}→ Ta̱mpi̱let:Aye{{Is redirect|Talk:Autism}}→ Ta̱mpi̱let:Question mark (unexpected for the talkpage itself)- Applying
Talk:Autism: {{Is redirect|Talk:Autism|talk=yes}}→ Ta̱mpi̱let:Aye- Applying the súbject page
Autism: {{Is redirect|Autism|talk=yes}}→ Ta̱mpi̱let:Aye (|talk=yesfor a súbject page name checks the subject page, not the associated talk page)
