Template:No article text is shown when viewing an article which doesn't exist. The content depends on whether the user is permitted to create the page. MediaWiki:Newarticletext is a related message, providing the default editnotice when editing a page which doesn't exist (as long as no specific editnotice has been created), provided the user has the permission to create the page. When the user has no such permission, MediaWiki:Nocreatetext is shown instead. This interface message or skin may also be documented on MediaWiki.org or translatewiki.net. The page forms part of the MediaWiki interface, and can only be edited by administrators and interface editors. To request a change to the page, add {{edit fully-protected}} to this page, followed by a description of your request. Consider announcing discussions you add here at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) to bring more people to the discussion. |

Create a detection system for the deprecated name spaces so the no article text page doesn't claim you can create it while logged in. Gadget:example, Gadget talk:example, Gadget definition:example, and Gadget definition talk:example all claim that the page can be created while logged in, even though this is obviously impossible. The template is probably just lacking consideration for gadget name spaces. Related discussion found here. -322UbnBr2 (Talk | Contributions | Actions) 17:16, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- I can throw together something for this in the sandbox sometime in the next couple hours, although I can't think of a good way to test it. LittlePuppers (talk) 18:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Done The namespace isn't technically deprecated, more like not supported yet, so the wording you added is incorrect. This is not something anyone not looking for trouble should ever see, so I just went ahead and suppressed the creation sentence entirely for those namespaces since it isn't worth adding more explanation to them. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:47, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yep, that seems like a reasonable solution. I was trying to figure out the history here (WP:NS lists it as deprecated), but I wasn't really getting anywhere. LittlePuppers (talk) 20:52, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- The respective talk pages for these namespaces still give "broken" creation links. I think just removing them would be fine. -322UbnBr2 (Talk | Contributions | Actions) 20:55, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- That's actually a completely different bug, which affects a lot more pages than just gadget definition talk, i.e Neha Khan 2. I seen no reason to paper over this corner case until the broader bug is fixed. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:40, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I've emerged from the rabbit hole you lead me into, and fixed a bunch more corner cases, although some obscure ones still remain to fix. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:20, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- You're welcome and thanks! -322UbnBr2 (Talk | Contributions | Actions) 00:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Ns:Gadget
User:Pppery, can we eliminate the transclusion showing at Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Ns:Gadget? For some reason, it (along with Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Ns:Gadget definition) just showed up today in the database report. I don't know what changed. Thanks!

- Fixed. Sigh, why do these namespaces keep propping up. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:47, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Protected edit request on 11 June 2024
It is requested that an edit be made to the fully protected template at Template:No article text. (edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.
Edit requests to fully protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |
|{{#ifeq:{{#invoke:Title blacklist|main|action=create|pagename={{#invoke:String|replace|source={{FULLPAGENAME}}|}}}}|templateeditor|* This page is on the title blacklist, so only [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]], [[Wikipedia:Template editors|template editors]], and [[Wikipedia:Page movers|page movers]] can create it|* ''' {{ #switch: {{NAMESPACE}}
Please add a "." to the "can create it" phrase. Just a random Wikipedian(talk) 14:07, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
