The result of the move request was: moved to Template:Talk page of redirect / withdrawn by nominator. I nominated this, but I'm withdrawing my proposal in favor of consensus. Steel1943 ( talk) 07:10, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
Template:Talkpage of redirect → ? – After another Wikipedian relayed to me the existence of this template, I looked at the name of the template, and thought that the name of this template is too long for the fact that it is applied to several talk pages. I think that this template should be moved over one of its shorter-named redirects, but I am not sure which one. Currently, there are four redirects towards this template that have shorter names than this template's current name: {{ Redirected}}, {{ Redirecttalk}}, {{ Talkredirect}}, and {{ Talkredirected}}. There might be a better option than any of these four; these are just the shorter-named ones that currently exist. Steel1943 ( talk) 07:05, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
I created {{ old talk on redirect}} a while ago without having seen this. It had partially superior functionality, in that it automatically produced a link to the redirect target. However, while I was away recently somebody redirected that template to this. The automatic code is available here if anyone ( Paine?) would like to try integrating it. — Scott • talk 16:25, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
Is there a version of this template to be used in the other direction, on the articles that are being redirected to? Talk:Iran currently just has an odd-looking "See also: Talk:Persia" at the top, where Talk:Persia uses {{ talk page of redirect}}. -- McGeddon ( talk) 14:10, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

At the part where it says "Because this page is not frequently watched, present and future discussions and edit requests should take place at:", add "for that page" between "edit requests" and "should" to make it less ambiguous/confusing for readers. Otherwise, they may interpret it as "Go to that page instead, this one shouldn't be used for anything." -- Geolodus ( talk) 17:38, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

SMcCandlish, The Tom, Arctic.gnome, and other Template Editors and Administrators,
I've closed a few XfDs as disambiguate and redirect, and I've noticed that we don't seem to have a Template:Talk page of disambiguation page and I'm wondering if it could be useful to duplicate and modify this template at that template page. Reason being, I suspect dab page talkpages are not well monitored and I've been including "talkheader" on them, but that's imperfect, too. We could potentially either modify this template to link to the current talk pages from the dab page, or just provide a notice that this is the talkpage of a dab page and it is not well monitored.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
--

{{Talk page of disambiguation page}}
would be useful, though the wording, reasoning, and instructions will need to be different. Maybe something like:Because this page is not frequently watched, present and future discussions, including most move requests, should take place at the talk page of whichever listed article is the most appropriate. This is also true of edit requests, unless they pertain to the content of the disambiguation page itself.
{{Talk page of disambiguation page}}

{{
Talk page of disambiguation page/sandbox}}
seems to be working for the most part but could use some additional testing. I've discovered one glitch (which may also affect {{
talk page of redirect}}
: If it's not placed on a talk page but on the disambiguation page (or, for the other template, redirect page) itself, the BASEPAGE test of the subject-namespace page for being a disambig (or redir, respectively) still returns true (since the non-talk page is its own subject-namespace page), and the template won't throw the error it should. Other than that, it seems to work. I tried sticking the sandbox copy of the disambig template on a user talk page, on a redirect's talk page, and on an article, and it produced the expected errors. I can fix the one known bug later, but am a bit tired now. Kudos to
