Current Issues
This template is currently untested on anything not within the main namespace. My expectation is that the link to the Talk page of the argument will fail if the argument page is not a main namespace. This could be changed, but as of yet I see no reason to do so.
- Okay, I now see reason to change this behaviour - If the archive is for a talk page, you will end up with Talk:Talk:pagename as it's Talk page, which the wiki software does not pick up. Does anyone have a nice, elegant solution to this? -- Odd Starter 06:32, 3 Nov 2005 (GMT)
- Well, do we ever archive anything other than Talk: pages? I don't see why we can't just design it around talk pages and not bother with making it work with other namespaces, for now. --Raelin 08:26, 3 Nov 2005 (GMT)
- That's a good point. I think that's workable... -- Odd Starter 09:01, 3 Nov 2005 (GMT)
