This talk page is an example of a page which is formally in the namespace of talk pages of articles, with a "view article" link at the bottom to a page that is not in the main namespace but in the Wikipedia namespace: [[Wikipedia:Namespace]].
[[Wikipedia talk:Namespace]] (the regularly named talk page) also links to that, with the link labelled "View meta page".

Similarly (from pump):
[[User:Stevertigo]] recently created [[Talk:User:Eloquence]], which I'm pretty sure was a mistake. What's interesting is that the "View article" link (not "View user page", mind you) does actually link to [[User:Eloquence]]. This means everybody has two talk pages (sort of), a real talk page, and a talk page in the main Talk namespace. (I, of course, have a third talk page, at [[Talk:Cyan]] ;-). -- [[User:Cyan|Cyan]] 02:11, 14 Oct 2003 (UTC)

:Would actually making use of this unintended (?) feature be deprecated? I could think of several possible ways to make use of it. And I don't mean me personally, but there might be a more general consensus for what the Talk:User:Foobar page could signify, if we really put our minds to it. BTW. does it give Eloquence the '''You have new messages''' indicator, when it has text that he has not read yet? -- [[User:Cimon avaro|Jussi-Ville Heiskanen]] 11:07, Oct 14, 2003 (UTC)
:Frex one use would be to keep it as a dedicated page for personal announcements, like going on holiday from wikipedia (as if), or other pronouncements which are time-related. A sort of blog, written by only the user himself. Hmm. On second thoughts, maybe not... But there has to some useful function that page could serve, assuming of course that using it would not screw up search results in the main Namespace, or something similarly dire...? -- [[User:Cimon avaro|Jussi-Ville Heiskanen]] 15:08, Oct 14, 2003 (UTC)
Wow! It's like a secret talk page. How fun. You could come here and talk about stuff when you got fed up of the talk on the real talk page and it would be a newbie free zone because they wouldn't know how to find it. [[User:Angela|Angela]] 22:16, Oct 14, 2003 (UTC)
Such bug-born titles are very much deprecated, and could be disappeared ''en masse'' at any time with bug fixes to the title parsing code. I would recommend against using them. --[[User:Brion VIBBER|Brion]] 11:02, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)
-----------
For [[w:wikipedia:wikipedia universe|wikipedia universe]] I suggest create '''wiktionary:''' or '''wt:''' to be used withing wikipedia, wikimedia and so on.
Common user: I suggest create Common user acoounts. So, I can use my nick name in wikipedia, wikimedia, wiktinary, without re-registering. [[User:MAC|MAC]] 10:50, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)
:Are you lost? This is not even a real talk page. It could be "disappeared" at any time! :) Feature requests should be made to [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=browse&group_id=34373&atid=411195&set=custom&_assigned_to=0&_status=1&_category=100&_group=100&order=open_date&sort=DESC&offset=0 sourceforge].

::You know, Angela, that the real talk page [[Wikipedia talk:Namespace]] "sort of" redirects here. -- [[User:Sverdrup|Sverdrup]] [[User talk:Sverdrup|(talk)]] 14:43, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)
