Not done for now: @
Swpb : It would probably be best to have a discussion about this at
WT:Project namespace , as the section this template links to is part of that guideline (i.e.
Wikipedia:Project namespace#Wikipedia how-to and information pages ). Furthermore, this would be better implemented as a template transclusion, so all the pages don't need edited if there is a desire to change the edit notice. —

I meant for it to be transcluded. —

This request is in the incorrect place. Creating
Template:Editnotices/Page/Template:infotalk editintro (should be Template talk:Editnotices/Page/Template:I nfotalk editintro
) would create an editnotice for {{
Infotalk editintro }} , which does not exist and is not the desired result. I will look into doing this later. —

JJMC89 : I'll happily re-add the request in the right place if necessary, if you can tell me where that would be – the instructions on
Wikipedia:Editnotice##Other_namespaces don't cover this scenario. —

@
Swpb : There isn't really a good place, so I just moved it to the talk page of one of the edit notices. I've
deployed {{
Wikipedia information pages talk page editnotice }} for the talk pages of the Wikipedia and Help pages in
Category:Wikipedia information pages . If you would like it added to any others, let me know. —

JJMC89 : Thanks! It looks like you manually deployed it on each page in the category; is there a way for it to automatically appear on new pages in that category, like {{
Disambig editintro }} does on dab pages? —

@
Swpb : That requires
Javascript (search for Magic editintros ). Since this is for the talk pages instead of the pages that are in the category, I don't know if it is possible. @
Enterprisey and
MusikAnimal : Do you know if it possible? —

JJMC89 , yes, it is possible. See script at
User:Enterprisey/magic-talk-editnotices.js , which I just wrote. Seems to be working fine.

Thanks
Enterprisey ! It will also need to work for ns13 (Help talk). @
Swpb : A modified version of Enterprisey's script could be added to
MediaWiki:Common.js (You can propose it at
MediaWiki talk:Common.js .) or as a (hidden?) gadget. —

Done. (Apparently wgTitle works for Help talk pages, too - didn't know that.) Also, a gadget might be better, because we'd then have the option of disabling it.

@
Enterprisey : It works for Help talk pages that have a corresponding Wikipedia page in the category but not the others (e.g.
Help talk:Page name but not
Help talk:Arabic ). —

@
Enterprisey : I created a new info page (
Wikipedia:Consensus dos and don'ts ), and the notice doesn't appear on editing the talk page. Do I just need to wait for some cache somewhere to refresh, or is something not working? Thanks! —

swpb , it's working for me - you could try
clearing your cache . If that still doesn't work, try
opening your console and telling me if a message that says "Detected that we're on the talk page of a page in Category:Wikipedia information pages." appears there. Hope this helps!

swpb , oh, I see why.
Your common.js file doesn't contain the script. You'll need to either get ScriptInstaller then hit the "Install" link at the top of my script, or just import
User:Enterprisey/magic-talk-editnotices.js using importScript.

MediaWiki:Common.js so everyone would see it. Since no one objected to the original proposal, can we go ahead and do that? —

Does it really need to go through another proposal waiting period? We're talking about enabling a behavior that was (I thought) implicit in the
original template proposal , which went unopposed. —
