Please use <noinclude> so the wrong namespace error does not appear on the template page itself (for preview purposes). 83.9.187.30 (talk) 16:47, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. ~~Several other templates like this one also show the error on their template pages. It's an easy way to show editors what happens when the template is used in the wrong namespace.~~ P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 19:31, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But it's inconsistent... 83.9.187.30 (talk) 20:35, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. It's also pretty useless imo. Obviously you don't use Uw outside user talk. Showing error message here is just bad. It should show noincluded version of what template really looks like. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 22:43, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's all good. Yet since this error message appears on the templates that use the {{Uw-block}} meta template (also protected), then the correct venue to garner a consensus for this change would be the talk page of that template, Template talk:Uw-block (which redirects to this page to centralize discussions). And the consensus should be achieved before using the {{Edit template-protected}} template. P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 02:55, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Probably should mention that I have a problem with the meta template, too. If we check the error category, Pages with templates in the wrong namespace, we find many of these user talk page templates there. It's because the meta template sorts those user talk page templates to that category. And that's just wrong. So I would support some change to that meta template that would remove the error category from these templates. P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 04:17, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To editor ProcrastinatingReader: found that the |demospace=<noinclude>user talk</noinclude> parameter can be used to grant this request. I'll check the other templates in the error category to see if it helps them as well. P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 04:39, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
