I'm currently using [[talk:((NAMESPACE)):((PAGENAME))|talk page]] which should work on all spaces perfectly but I'm interested in knowing if this will work everywhere and if this is the most efficent way to link to an archive page's talk page since this would require pulling up the link every time a user loaded the page.

This is a sister template to Template:Talkarchive. This specific template is designed for use on page archives, the major difference between this and the talk archive tag is that this jas a talk page link and it is phrased slightly differently. Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 04:57, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
Izno the consensus was to merge to ((Archive)), right? And it says to ((Talkarchive)) because that was the way I put it in the nom before the discussion made it clear ((Archive)) should be the final title? --Trialpears (talk) 21:53, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

It would be good to be able to go directly to the article page from an archived talk page. I suggest adding the link to the article next to the link to the main talk page, on the top left, just below "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". See for example Talk:Black_hole/Archive_14. We could change it from:
"< Talk:Black hole"
to:
"Talk:Black hole - Article:Black hole"
I have removed the leadign "<" sign, but we could keep it if that is the preferred option. Vpab15 (talk) 11:17, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:35, 5 September 2020 (UTC)Why is it important to have this functionality in the web interface itself. Wouldn't it be sufficient if the ((talkarchive)) (or ((Talkarchivenav)) etc) header template contained that link? (I mean, it's a job we can do ourselves, right?) Would save us having to involve the devs... CapnZapp (talk) 09:47, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
I came here to ask the same thing:
To reduce the number of clicks needed to return to the page under discussion, can we add a link to change:
to something like:
Are there any edge cases where this would not be appropriate, that need to be catered for? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:28, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
