This [[Wikipedia:Template index|template]] is a signpost. It displays a talk page message box with four sections of content:
* [[#Intro and newcomer links|§&nbsp;Intro]] – a short introduction and appropriate links for newcomers
* [[#Policies|§&nbsp;Policies]] – a reminder of important policies for experienced users
* [[#"Find sources" links|§&nbsp;"Find sources links"]] – a set of links to aid in [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|finding reliable sources]] for the article topic
* [[#Archives|§&nbsp;Archives]] – a list of links to the current talk page's [[Help:Archiving a talk page|archives]], and a search box to search them
Portions of the standard boilerplate text may be modified with params that specify [[#Additional and replacement text|additional or replacement text]].

== Usage ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Talk header}}</syntaxhighlight>

To add this template to a talk page, just open an edit of the talk page, and put {{tc|Talk header}} at the top of the page.

By convention, this template goes at the very top of the talk page, above WikiProject templates and other talk-page banners. However, this is not an absolute rule, and editors should use common sense when deciding its placement. See also: {{section link|Wikipedia:Talk page layout|Lead (bannerspace)}}.

=== Should this be added to every talk page? <span class="anchor" id="Unnecessary"></span>===
There is no mandate to have this template appear on the {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}+ potential talk pages. This template should not be indiscriminately added to pre-existing talk pages, especially not with bots. That said, the template should not be removed from talk pages simply because it is there.

For more information on this topic, see the [[Template talk:Talk header|talk page]] for this template, including the talk archives{{efn|[[Template talk:Talk header/Archive 10#Consider updating the "only where it's needed" instruction]]}} and the [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion|TfD]] logs.{{efn|See the top of the [[Template talk:Talk header|talk page]] for the banner with links to previous TfDs.}}

== Hiding the template ==
[[WP:REGISTER|Registered users]] who prefer not to see this template on any talk page may hide it from view. Note that this hides page [[Help:Archiving a talk page|archive]] links and the archive search box as well if they are configured to be shown through this template. You'll need to have [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|an account]] to do this.

# Edit your [[Help:User style|user style]] page at [[Special:Mypage/common.css]].
# Add a line: <code><nowiki>#talkheader {display:none;}</nowiki></code>
# Save the change.
# [[Wikipedia:Bypass your cache|Bypass your cache]].

To only hide the intro/newcomer links and talk page policies, but leave the find sources and archive sections visible, instead use the line: 
{{bi |left=1 |<code><nowiki>#talkheader tr:has(> td > .talkheader-body) { display:none; }</nowiki></code>}}

Portions of the template may be hidden for all viewers using a template parameter: see [[#Hiding the links|here]] to hide the "find sources" links; see [[#Archives|here]] to hide the archive links.

== Parts of the header ==
This section describes the different parts of the header.  Each subsection below corresponds to one of the four main areas of functionality listed in the bullet items at the [[#top|top]], and explains which parameters are available to modify their appearance.

=== Intro and newcomer links ===
Basic tips for newcomers are boxed with a white background and appear top left, and includes starting a new section and how to get help. The intro links are displayed in the top left portion of the message box:
{{Tmbox
| style = 
| image = none
| text  =
<div style="border:thin solid #c0c090; height:7em; width:60%; background-color:white; margin:0 0 4em -0.6em; padding-top:1em">
* Put new text under old text. {{Strong|[[Special:NewSection/{{TALKPAGENAMEE}}|Click here to start a new topic.]]}}
* New to Wikipedia? Welcome! [[Help:Introduction|Learn to edit]]; [[Wikipedia:Questions|get help]].
</div>
}}
=== Policies ===

==== Talk page policies ====
A bullet list of [[WP:PG|policies]], and [[:Category:Wikipedia behavioral guidelines|behavioral]] and [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page guidelines]] is included by default in the top right portion of the message box.

==== Article policies ====
In the article namespace only, a list of bulleted "Article policies" is included by default. It occupies part of the top right section of the message box, to the right of the talk page policies.
{{tmbox
| style = 
| image = none
| text  =
<table role="presentation">
  <tr>
    <td style="border:thin solid #c0c090; width:50%; background-color:white; margin:0 0 0 -0.6em">
&nbsp;
    </td>
    <td style="width:29%">
* [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|Assume good faith]]
* [[Wikipedia:Civility|Be polite]] and [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|avoid personal attacks]]
* [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|Be welcoming to newcomers]]
* Seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution requests|dispute resolution]] if needed
    </td>
    <td style="width:21%; border-left:1px solid #c0c090">
<span style="margin-left:2em">'''Article policies'''</span>
* [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|Neutral point of view]]
* [[Wikipedia:No original research|No original research]]
* [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|Verifiability]]
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr style="height:4em">
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>
}}
In [[WP:Namespace|non-article namespaces]], the "Article policies" box is absent by default, but it may be added via {{para|arpol|yes}}. For example:

{{tlc|talk header |arpol{{=}}yes}}

Note: {{para|arpol|no}} is an invalid setting, and has no effect on header display in any namespace. The article policies may be suppressed from view in all namespaces by adding <code>#talkheader .talkheader-policies{display:none}</code> to your common.css.

=== "Find sources" links ===
For article Talk pages, a set of "find sources" links appears by default in the Talk header box. The default links correspond to the output of [[Template:Find sources]]; see [[Talk:Europe]] for an example. These links appear after the initial article policies and links for newcomers, and above the archiving section. For the article [[Europe]], it looks like this:
{{General sources notice|Europe}}

==== Background ====
There are several flavors of "find sources" links (medical, video, general) targeted to different search domains. The flavor of "find sources" links displayed in the Talk header depends on [[WP:WikiProject|WikiProject]] membership of the article and may correspond to one of these:
* {{tl|find medical sources}}{{snd}}for articles in the '''medical''' search domain
* {{tl|find video game sources}}{{snd}}for articles in the '''video game''' search domain
* {{tl|find general sources}}{{snd}}the default, for everything else, is the '''general''' domain.

The default search domain is "general", which is the large majority of all Talk pages, and displays the links found in template {{tl|find general sources}}. The search domain is determined automatically by the template, depending on the presence of the corresponding [[WP:WikiProject|WikiProject]]. If an article belongs to [[WP:WikiProject Medicine|WikiProject Medicine]], it is in the medical search domain by default; if it belongs to [[WP:WikiProject Video games|WikiProject Video games]], it is in the video game search domain by default. (If it is in both, then the highest domain in the list above is chosen; i.e, 'medical'.)

'''Example'''

For the page  [[Talk:Giardiasis]], which belongs to [[WP:WikiProject Medicine]], it looks like this:
{{medical sources notice|giardiasis}}
You can modify the nature of the source links displayed by [[#Hiding the links|§&nbsp;Hiding the links]], [[#Modifying the "find sources" query terms|§&nbsp;modifying the query terms]], or by [[#Search domain override|§&nbsp;modifying the search domain]].

==== Hiding the links ====
By default, these links do not appear outside of [[WP:NS|article Talk space]] (ns=1). 

Within article Talk space, the "find sources" links may be suppressed  by setting parameter {{para|hide_find_sources|yes}}.

==== Modifying the "find sources" query terms ====
The find sources links use the article title by default as the search term and forms an "exact search" (or "double-quoted query"){{efn|name="exact search"|'''Exact search''' is also known as a "double-quoted query" because major search engines interpret paired double-quote characters as indicating that everything between the double quotes must be found exactly as specified.}} from the title. If the article title contains [[WP:PARENDIS|parenthetical disambiguation]] portion, this is appended after the exact search query term, as an additional, unquoted phrase.

In place of the default, the query terms may be specified by using {{para|search_term}} (alias: {{para|search_term1}}) to specify the exact search string. Parameter {{para|search_term2}} may be added to specify additional, unquoted query terms, as many as desired.

==== Search domain override ====
The default domain chosen by automatic WikiProject detection may be overridden using param {{para|search-domain}}:
* {{para|search-domain|medical}}{{snd}}use {{pval|medical}} as the search domain, regardless what projects it belongs to (value alias: {{pval|med}})
* {{para|search-domain|video game}}{{snd}}use {{pval|video games}} as the search domain, regardless what projects it belongs to (value alias: {{pval|video}}, and {{pval|vg}}))
* {{para|search-domain|general}}{{snd}}use {{pval|general}} as the search domain, regardless what projects it belongs to (value alias: {{pval|gen}})

The parameter alias {{para|domain}} may be used instead; thus, {{para|domain|med}} means the same thing as {{para|search-domain|medical}}.

=== Archives ===
The [[Help:Archiving a talk page|archives]] section of the Talk header occupies the bottom of the Talk header box. It consists of (up to) three portions:
* a set of [[#Links to archives|links to Talk page archives]]
* archive bot notice
* an [[#Search box|archive search box]]
The first and last portions are displayed automatically at the bottom of this template when used on a talk page that has archives that are [[Help:Archiving a talk page#Automated archiving|named in the standard way]].  If no archives exist for the current talk page, or if they have non-standard names, no archive links or search box is displayed. The archive bot notice is only displayed if parameters are manually added.

Parameters {{para|noarchive|yes}} and {{para|search|no}} are available to suppress the links to Talk archive pages and to the search box. There can be an automatic [[#Archive bot notice|§&nbsp;archive bot notice]] adjacent to the archive links.

Setting up archiving on a Talk page is independent of the Talk page header. Pages can be set up to be automatically archived by a bot (typically by [[User:Lowercase sigmabot III|Lowercase sigmabot III]] or [[User:ClueBot III|ClueBot III]]); see [[Help:Archiving a talk page#Automated archiving|Help:Archiving a talk page]] for how to do this.

==== Links to archives ====
If Talk page archives exist and are named in the [[Help:Archiving a talk page#Automated archiving|standard sequential way]], using either a numeric sequence or the alphabetic system with names like /Archive A, or with yearly archives of the format /Archive {{CURRENTYEAR}}, links to all of the archive pages are displayed. If this template cannot find any archives because they are not named the standard sequential way, it will behave as if no archive pages exist.

{{para|noarchive|yes}} suppresses links to archives.

For archives using numeric sequencing, the archive links look like this (example shown is for [[Talk:Europe]]):
{{tmbox
| small = {{{small|}}}
| image = none
| style = text-align: center
| text  =<span style="float:right">{{Tooltip|Auto-archiving period|Discussions with timestamps are automatically archived by Lowercase sigmabot III after 180 days of inactivity.}} '''180 days'''&nbsp;[[File:Information icon4.svg|16px|link=Help:Archiving a talk page#Automated archiving|alt=]]</span>
[[Help:Archiving a talk page|Archives]]: [[Talk:Europe/Archive index|Index]], [[Talk:Europe/Archive 1|1]], [[Talk:Europe/Archive 2|2]], [[Talk:Europe/Archive 3|3]], [[Talk:Europe/Archive 4|4]], [[Talk:Europe/Archive 5|5]], [[Talk:Europe/Archive 6|6]], [[Talk:Europe/Archive 7|7]], [[Talk:Europe/Archive 8|8]], [[Talk:Europe/Archive 9|9]], [[Talk:Europe/Archive 10|10]], [[Talk:Europe/Archive 11|11]]}}
A link to the archive index is included in the list if it exists and has the standard name "/Archive index". There is no parameter to independently suppress this.

====Archive bot notice====

The talk header offers an archive bot notice containing the text "Auto-archiving period" at the right for informational purposes. It does not set up automatic archiving, it merely reports what type of archiving has been set up, if any. For instructions on how to configure Talk page archiving, see [[Help:Archiving a talk page#Automated archiving|Help:Archiving a talk page]]. If archiving has been set up, it is reported automatically from the archive configuration data on the page. An example is given just above, showing an archiving period of 180 days. 

For archiving bots that use hours as the default units, values over 23 are converted to days, rounded to the nearest half-day, so that a config parameter of {{para|age|4320}} for such a bot will result in the same 180-day example as shown above. In these cases, the tooltip pop-up value remains denominated in hours.

'''Note:''' Formerly, four parameters were available for users to configure the bot notice manually; however, the bot notice is now generated automatically directly from the archive config data. The four parameters are therefore no longer required, and should not be used.

==== Search box ====
The archive search box may be used to search the Talk page archives, and is displayed automatically at the bottom of this template just below the [[#Links to archives|archive page links]], when used on a talk page that has archives that are [[Help:Archiving a talk page#Automated archiving|named in the standard way]].  If no archives exist for the current talk page, or if they have non-standard names, no search box is displayed.

Parameter {{para|search|no}} may be used to suppress the search box and the archive links.

If present, the search box appears below the [[#Links to archives|Archiving links]], and is the last element to appear in the template:

{{tmbox
| small = {{{small|}}}
| image = none
| style = text-align: center
| text  ={{Search box|root=Talk:Europe|search-break=no|search-width=auto|search-button-label=Search archives}}
}}
In this working example, entering search terms searches the talk page archives of the article [[Europe]].

==== Suppressing links or search box ====
By default, the Talk header template displays a list of [[#Links to archives|archive links]], if any archives are present. Parameter {{para|noarchive|yes}} may be used to suppress the list. 

By default, the template displays an [[#Search box|archive search box]] if any archives are present. Parameter {{para|search|no}} may be used to suppress display of the archive search box. Note that, in particular {{para|search|yes}} has no effect, and will not place a search box on a talk page that has no archives.

== Additional and replacement text ==
Besides the four main sections of the talk header box, the template provides three parameters which may be used to include additional sections or modified text: 
* {{para|bottom}}
* {{para|custom header}}
* {{para|wp}}.

=== bottom ===
'''{{para|bottom|yes}}'''{{snd}}adds a message above the main talk header box, separately bordered, about where to place new discussions:
{{tmbox
| small = {{{small|}}}
| image = none
| style = text-align: center
| text  = '''Please place new discussions at the bottom of the talk page.'''
}}

=== custom_header ===
'''{{para|custom_header|your text here}}'''{{snd}}adds any desired text above the main talk header. Text is in boldface by default, and has a horizontal rule below, separating it from the rest of the content. 

'''Example'''

Showing {{para|custom_header}} with the first line of [[Lorem ipsum]] text:
{{tmbox
| style = border-bottom:none
| image = none
| text  =
'''Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.'''{{hr}}
<table>
  <tr>
    <td style="border:thin solid #c0c090; border-bottom:none; width:60%; background-color:white; margin:0 0 4em -0.6em; padding:0 1em 0 0">
* Put new text under old text. {{Strong|[[Special:NewSection/{{TALKPAGENAMEE}}|Click here to start a new topic.]]}}
    </td>
    <td>
* [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|Assume good faith]]
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
}}

If used together with {{para|bottom}}: the "New discussions placement" text appears above everything in a separately bordered box; the main talk header box is below that, and the custom text appears in the main box, above the [[#Intro and newcomer links|newbie]] and [[#Article policies|article policy]] links and separated from them by a horizontal rule.

=== wp ===
'''{{para|wp|yes}}'''{{snd}}Extends the bolded lead sentence of the header, to add the words "''Pagename'' and anything related to its purposes and tasks" as follows:
{{tmbox
| small = {{{small|}}}
| image = none
| style = text-align: center
| text  = '''This is the talk page for discussing ''Pagename'' and anything related to its purposes and tasks.'''
}}
This parameter should not be used outside of the [[WP:Namespace|Wikipedia talk namespace]].

== Testing issues ==

=== Find sources testing ===
For testing and demonstration purposes, this template accepts parameter {{para|demospace}} which enables testing of the find sources opt-out parameter {{para|hide_find_sources}} from other namespaces.
* If {{para|demospace}} has the value {{pval|main}} or the value {{pval|1}} it returns the findsources text it would normally return when transcluded from [[WP:Mainspace|mainspace]].
* If {{para|demospace}} has any other value such as the name of some other namespace it returns the text it would if transcluded outside of mainspace.
* If the parameter is empty or undefined, the actual page type determines the result.

The dynamic features of [[#Background|WikiProject autodetection]] and [[#Search domain override|§&nbsp;Search domain override]] depend on the article title where it appears, and therefore cannot be tested in the normal way. The [[Template:Talk header/testcases|test cases page]] provides an explanation of [[Template:Talk header/testcases#E. WikiProject detection|how to test these features]] using [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] with the ContextTitle enabled, or by using ''in situ'' testing.

=== Expensive parser functions ===
This template uses up to {{#expr: {{CURRENTYEAR}} - 2002}} [[WP:EXPENSIVE|expensive parser functions]] (during {{CURRENTYEAR}}, with it increasing by one a year) depending on what parameters are used. In theory, on pages with very large numbers of other templates using expensive parser functions this could result in [[WP:TLIMIT|template limits]] being reached, but this is very unlikely. It could also affect expansion of templates on a test page that has more than {{#expr: trunc(500 / ( {{CURRENTYEAR}} - 2002 ))}} uncollapsed invocations of this template, especially ones appearing lower on the page.
