Template cribbed from Blue Prism (well, I wrote it)

New page

<includeonly>[[{{{1|Main Page}}}{{#if:{{{2|}}}|{{!}}{{{2}}}|}}]]{{#ifexist:Talk:{{{1|Main Page}}}|[[Image:Talk.png|12px|link=Talk:{{{1|Main Page}}}]]|}}[[Image:Pencil.png|12px|link={{fullurl:{{{1|Main Page}}}|action=edit}}]]</includeonly><noinclude>
Provides a Talk link ''in addition'' to the main namespace link, if a Talk page exists for this subject.

== Usage ==
No named parameters.

* First parameter is the subject name to link to.
* Optional second parameter is the label to use in place of the subject name.

== Examples ==

Giving a page which has no talk page will result in a normal link being offered
<nowiki>{{talkToo|Development Team}}</nowiki>
will show
{{talkToo|Development Team}}
----
If a talk page exists for the given subject, a link to the talk page is appended, eg.
<nowiki>{{talkToo|Multiple Character Sets Design}}</nowiki>
gives:
{{talkToo|Multiple Character Sets Design}}
----
You can alter the label in the link by passing an optional second parameter:
<nowiki>{{talkToo|Multiple Character Sets Design|Multichar Design}}</nowiki>
gives:
{{talkToo|Multiple Character Sets Design|Multichar Design}}
----
The Talk page will not be detected for templates, since Talk pages for templates reside in the 'Template_Talk' namespace, not in the 'Talk' namespace.
<nowiki>{{talkToo|Template:TalkMaybe}}</nowiki>
will just show:
{{talkToo|Template:TalkMaybe}}
even though the talk page [[Template_talk:TalkMaybe]] does exist. The same applies to talk pages serving other namespaces, such as 'Special' or 'User'.
----
Note that the default page to use if no parameter is given is [[Main Page]], ie.
<nowiki>{{talkToo}}</nowiki>
will provide:
{{talkToo}}

</noinclude>
