Task/s: put {{Item documentation}} in head of each talkpages

Code: my wp git repo, not coded yet.

Function details: Put {{Item documentation}} in item talkpages if it is not already existing. --TomT0m ^(talk) 16:48, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such user.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:49, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, now it has been created.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:50, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Bene*, Vogone, Legoktm, Ymblanter: Any 'crat to comment?--GZWDer (talk) 10:53, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a broad agreement that we should use talk pages that way? --Succu (talk) 18:43, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I don't think there is a need for this template on all talk pages.--Pasleim (talk) 16:39, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Pasleim: It provides context about the item on all talkpages, plus basic links to external tools, basic linguistic informations and basic informations about the neighborhood of the item. Plus it's the only way we currently have to show up the very important classification informations about the item, and make this available to non Wikidatians powerusers without an army of extensions they might not want to setup, or external tools.

@TomT0m: I do acknowledge the helpfulness of the template content but IMO a talk page is for discussions and not documentation. Moreover, to create 16M identical pages can't be the best approach. Why not provide the documentation by a gadget which might be enabled by default (sketchy at User:Pasleim/sandbox.js)? --Pasleim (talk) 09:11, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

+1 --Succu (talk) 09:18, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Pasleim: I'll don't see why documentation should be burried into gadgets, it should be easily accessible. If it does not belong in templates, does it belongs in ... gadget ? The same argument applies :) Think of {{Property documentation}}. It is on talkpages and nobody seems to be shocked. I don't really think it is an important point. Maybe a more efficient way, if possible, would be to set a default wikicontent header for pages of that type. TomT0m ^(talk) 16:28, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To make it clear

Oppose - This is a misusage of talkpages! --Succu (talk) 16:50, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
