Localise template catalogue and editorial guidance for the independent wiki
Restore original template index format; localise policy references without changing tables or examples
Line 1:
<div class="hatnote">This index documents local templates. Follow this wiki's local policies and guidance when using the examples.</div>
[[Project:Template index|Template index]] / Talk namespace
{{Shortcut|Project:TI/TALK}}
These are [[Project:Template documentation|templates]] that can be used on [[Elite Dangerous Wiki:Talk page guidelines|talk pages]]. There are also additional templates at [[Project:Template index/Talk namespace|List of discussion templates]], and [[Project:Template index/User talk namespace|User talk page templates]]. See the [[Project:Template index/Talk namespace#See also|See also]] section below for links to additional templates and guidelines.
 
If you create a new, or modify an old, talk page template, please read the guideline first about how they should look at [[Project:Template index/Talk namespace|Talk page templates]].
Discussion formatting and article-work notes.
 
==General==
Keep discussion relevant to improving the page. Use local links and identify which comment is being answered. Formatting templates do not establish an external noticeboard, review scheme or permission.
