Description Christopher Beland 2004-10-03 00:30:33 UTC 
In Wikipedia, when displaying a non-existant talk page Talk:Foo, the following
error message is shown:

 Wikipedia does not yet have a page called Foo.

 * To start the article, type in the box below and click "Save page". Your
changes will be visible immediately.
 * Please do not create an article to promote yourself, a website, a product, or
a business (see Wikipedia:Policy).
 * If you are new to Wikipedia, please read the tutorial before creating your
first article.
 * If you create a test page, you will not be able to delete this yourself, so
please only use the sandbox for experiments.

A better message would be:

Wikipedia does not yet have a talk page for Foo.

 * To start the discussion, type in the box below and click "Save page".
 * This page is only for discussion about the page Foo.

The same goes for Category talk, Wikipedia talk, etc.
