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

Line 7 ⟶ 8:

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

:'''user''', '''wikipedia''', '''file''', '''mediawiki''', '''template''', '''help''', '''category''', '''portal''', '''book''', '''draft''' and '''module''' = 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).

Line 14 ⟶ 15:

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 21 ⟶ 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 41 ⟶ 42:

| page = User talk:Example

}}

</syntaxhighlight>

</pre>

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

Line 57 ⟶ 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 63 ⟶ 64:

| page = {{{page|}}}

}}

</syntaxhighlight>

</pre>
