| We don't need to be real picky about this as long as the template is created and used before any more talk page proposals are created. We can always make it look better later.--{{User|Knife}} 20:23, 28 January 2010 (EST) | | We don't need to be real picky about this as long as the template is created and used before any more talk page proposals are created.

| == Revamp the usage of this template ==

|
| |
| I believe that [[Template:Talk]] is currently not living up to the potential it is capable of. It may have been put to good use years back, but nowadays [[:Category:Talk pages with unresolved issues]] seems to get overlooked. This results in greatly delayed responses, and it is even reaching the point where talk page questions are so old and outdated that it just doesn't seem right to respond to them, which has caused the category to build up over time. Our [[Help:Communication]] page has a [[Help:Communication|How do I get the attention of other users?|section]] that describes <nowiki>{{Talk}}</nowiki>, where it states ''"If you have asked a question about a specific article or content and require an answer, you can place <nowiki>{{talk}}</nowiki> above your question. The talk page itself will then appear in [[:Category:Talk pages with unresolved issues]], and other users will be able to reach it from there."'' This outdated section is no longer of ''any'' help to users, as even fairly new and recent questions get thrown in amongst the ridiculously old ones and is not noticed by other users. So, I ask what can be done with this template and category? Shall it just remain as it is, with the category slowly growing and the near-useless template still being encouraged as reliable by the help page, or should we consider an alternative? Ideas anyone?

| So I've been confused on when I'm supposed to put this template. For example, I'm going to ask why is [[Bill Gates]] in the [[:Category: Historical Figures]], which is a subcategory of [[:Category: Deceased People]]. Unfortunately, I don't know when to put it, when I first ask it, or when someone has answered and still don't know why. (Ehich is why thus is a proposal, and not an open discussion.)

| This... really didn't need to be a proposal. You're not really proposing any changes, to me this seems like you're just asking for clarification on what the template is for. By the way, the template page already does explain how to use it - "This template is to be used to bring attention to any questions that need resolving on an article's talk page" - using your example, it should be placed once you ask the question and not removed until the question is answered, or in other cases, once a consensus has been reached. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 19:33, August 18, 2020 (EDT)
