Description MZMcBride 2008-12-21 19:13:22 UTC
Sometimes users create pages like "Talk:Image:Foo.jpg", not realizing that the correct namespace they want is "Image talk:Foo.jpg". We need to either redirect or do something that's more intuitive than simply allowing the page to be created.
Comment 1 Aaron Schulz 2009-01-02 20:28:48 UTC
Maybe a bold "Did you mean Image Talk:Foo.jpg" on edit would help.
Comment 2 Phillip Patriakeas 2010-07-13 22:19:32 UTC
Currently such titles return a "Bad title" error (not just for Talk:Image but for Talk:{{NAMESPACE}} in general), but I feel this is a sub-optimal solution - at the very least, users should be redirected to the appropriate {{TALKNAMESPACE}} title.
