Hi, @Gryllida can you provide some examples of pages or maybe older revisions of pages where this issue is visible? To be clear, the copyright checker link will only appear if the talk page of that article exists. (to chnage this condition we need to update the template)

Also, the copyright checker and "last amended" text might not be visible on non-main namespace pages. This is because of the usage of "{{#ifexist:Talk:{{PAGENAME}}", which works as intended on main namespace pages but not on other namespaces. Instead we can use {{#ifexist:{{TALKPAGENAME}}. For example, on a user subpage, "Talk:{{PAGENAME}}" would translate as "Talk:UserName" instead of "User talk:UserName".

Hi @Asked42

Thank you for identifying the reason 😲

I think this should not depend on talk page existing. Please update template to ignore talk page and just always provide the link. If it is required to sight the edit please post a note and a link here

@Gryllida : I have made the edits to the template. Please take a look.

Gryllida assigned this task to Asked42.

Closing as fixed. Thank you @Asked42
