Please adopt <s>[[Special:Diff/1036079353]]</s> <s>[[Special:Redirect/revision/1036080299]]</s> [[Special:Redirect/revision/1036081222]] from the sandbox to stop file talk pages from being reported as linking to the file which confuses [[User:Alexis Jazz/LuckyRename|LuckyRename]]. — <span style="color:#e08020">Alexis Jazz</span> ([[User talk:Alexis Jazz|talk]] or ping me) 10:38, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
:{{Re|Alexis Jazz}} Shouldn't <code>#if:</code> be <code>#ifeq:</code> in your changes? -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 10:46, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
::{{u|John of Reading}}, you are [[Special:Diff/1036080299|absolutely right]], sorry. — <span style="color:#e08020">Alexis Jazz</span> ([[User talk:Alexis Jazz|talk]] or ping me) 10:51, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
:Wouldn't the correct fix be in the [[Module:Pagetype]]? Seems the above change now makes it check manually the page type and also with the pagetype module. [[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 10:54, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
::{{u|Gonnym}}, it actually skips the pagetype module in case of file talk pages. I'm not sure if it'll be fixable in [[Module:Pagetype]], but I'd welcome anyone to try. — <span style="color:#e08020">Alexis Jazz</span> ([[User talk:Alexis Jazz|talk]] or ping me) 11:03, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
:::I meant this template in general now uses two different page type checks which in general is bad design. You should really post on that module page and ask its maintainer or one of the watchers if they can fix it. [[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 11:19, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
::::{{u|Gonnym}}, there are no active maintainers and fewer than 30 watchers. And I suspect (but I don't know) that the module checks for the existence of a subject page, which may cause MediaWiki to think it's being linked.
::::
::::If you insist on using one method, for the purposes of this template {{tl|Pagetype2}} is probably functionally identical. — <span style="color:#e08020">Alexis Jazz</span> ([[User talk:Alexis Jazz|talk]] or ping me) 11:32, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
:::::Yes, an existence check adds an entry to the link table. Here are two such tests: {{#ifexist:Talk:The Glenn Miller Story (album)|Yes|No}}; {{#ifexist:Talk:The Max Miller Story (album)|Yes|No}} - go to [[Special:Permalink/1036091748]] and try out the two "WhatLinksHere" links. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] &#x1f339; ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 12:45, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
::::::{{u|Redrose64}}, I figured, so it's unfixable. — <span style="color:#e08020">Alexis Jazz</span> ([[User talk:Alexis Jazz|talk]] or ping me) 14:38, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
