This is the {{tl|talkspace detect}} meta-template.

It helps other templates detect what type of page they are on. It detects and groups all the different [[Wikipedia:Namespace|talkspaces]] used on Wikipedia into several types:

:'''main''' = Defines the output if the template is located on main/article talkspace; aka ''Talk:''.

:'''user''', '''wikipedia''', '''file''', '''mediawiki''', '''template''', '''help''', '''category''', '''portal''', '''draft''' and '''portalmodule''' = Defines the output if the template is located on the specified talkspaces; aka ''User talk:'', ''Wikipedia talk:'', ''File talk:'', etc.

:'''default''' = Defines the output if the template is located on any talkspaces that were not defined as a parameter to this meta-template.

:'''other''' = Defines the output if the template is located on any subject space (not the associated talkspace).

=== Usage ===

This template takes one or more parameters named after the different page types as listed above. Like this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

<pre>

{{talkspace detect

| main = Article talk page text

Line 22:

| other = Text for all subject spaces

}}

</syntaxhighlight>

</pre>

By using an empty parameter you can make it so this template doesn't render anything for some specific page type. Like this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

<pre>

{{talkspace detect

| main =

| default = Text for all other talkspaces

}}

</syntaxhighlight>

</pre>

=== The "page" parameter ===

For testing and demonstration purposes this template can take a parameter named '''page'''. Like this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

<pre>

{{talkspace detect

| user = User talk text.

Line 43 ⟶ 42:

| page = User talk:Example

}}

</syntaxhighlight>

</pre>

No matter on what kind of page the code above is used it will return this:

Line 59 ⟶ 58:

You can make it so your template also understands the '''page''' parameter. That means you can demonstrate the different appearances of your template in the documentation for your template. Then do like this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

<pre>

{{talkspace detect

| user = User talk text.

Line 65 ⟶ 64:

| page = {{{page|}}}

}}

</syntaxhighlight>

</pre>
