{{cascade-protected template}}

This is the {{tl|check talk}} meta-template.

This template is invisible except under the conditions described below.

=== Usage ===

This template may be incorporated into other templates that are intended to be used only on talk pages. If a template containing it is added to a page in any subject namespace, 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:

<strong class="error">'''''This [[Help:Template|template]] is misplaced. It belongs on the [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]:'' [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}]].'''</strong>

It also adds the pages to [[:Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace]] for easier tracking and rectification.

This template can simply be used like this:

:<code><nowiki>{{check talk}}</nowiki></code>

But if you want to have the ability to selectively turn off this template, for instance when you show your template on a WikiProject page, then use this template like this:

:<code><nowiki>{{check talk| nocat={{{nocat|}}} }}</nowiki></code>

Then you can feed "<code>nocat = true</code>" 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.

* {{tl|talk other}} – Helps you detect any talk space, if you want to design your own message.
