Can we modify this template to cause it not to add "article" at the statement end when the template is used on the talk page of a list-class title? It seems odd to say "This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the List of bands whose leader is not the band's lead singer article." when "This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the List of bands whose leader is not the band's lead singer." seems more correct.  --My76Strat (talk) 08:50, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible either (a) to add a parameter (|displaytitle= or something) that lets you rename what {{Talk header}} calls the page it's on (i.e. "This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Foo article") to whatever you like; or (b) to make it check whether the page it's on contains {{lowercase}} or {{DISPLAYTITLE}} or whatever, and then to automatically change what it calls its page's title in the same way that that title is changed by the detected template/magic word?

Option a is possible, and I have added a new |display_title= parameter to the template sandbox. (I used the underscore so that it won't be confused with the DISPLAYTITLE magic word.) See the test case here for how it would work. I don't know of any way to implement your option b, but maybe someone who knows their html better than me could find a way. I'll leave this edit request open for now to get more opinions on the option b. In the meantime, let me know if you would like me to implement the sandbox version, and I can add the code to the main template if you like. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 17:52, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes please! Is there any easy way to also add it to the other members of Category:Talk message boxes that use {{PAGENAME}} or {{ARTICLEPAGENAME}} (e.g. {{Article history}}, {{FailedGA}}, {{AARportal}})? It Is Me Here ^{t / c} 19:01, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Ok, I've updated the template and marked the edit request as done. If you want to add it to different categories you don't need to edit the template directly - you can just add the categories to Template:Talk header/doc.

Can you add {{Find sources notice}} in this template so that we don't need to add it manually? --Tito Dutta (talk) 23:22, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
