Description:
In Wikipedia, when displaying a non-existant talk page Talk:Foo, the following
error message is shown:

Wikipedia does not yet have a page called Foo.

  • To start the article, type in the box below and click "Save page". Your

changes will be visible immediately.

  • Please do not create an article to promote yourself, a website, a product, or

a business (see Wikipedia:Policy).

  • If you are new to Wikipedia, please read the tutorial before creating your

first article.

  • If you create a test page, you will not be able to delete this yourself, so

please only use the sandbox for experiments.

A better message would be:

Wikipedia does not yet have a talk page for Foo.

  • To start the discussion, type in the box below and click "Save page".
  • This page is only for discussion about the page Foo.

The same goes for Category talk, Wikipedia talk, etc.
