Edit request on 29 November 2021
This template incorrectly identifies pages of the form NS:Text/Text as non-subpages. Replacing { {SUBPAGENAME}} with { {PAGENAME}} would fix the problem. JsfasdF252 (talk) 02:09, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Try using the template at this page. JsfasdF252 (talk) 19:20, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * that page doesn't exist. I can't find a page that does exist where this is an issue. Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 05:01, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This request has been disabled until clear examples can be shown where subpages are incorrectly identified by the template.  P.I. Ellsworth &numsp;-  ed.  put'r there 07:08, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

I see the flaw that the OP pointed out. If the subpage name is the same as the rootpage name, then this template doesn't work. This can be tested in preview using the nonexisting example page given by the OP, Template talk:Subpage other/Subpage other. This template seems to work okay when the subpage name is not the same as the rootpage name, so this flaw is probably inconsequential or nearly so. Hard to say if this is even worth pursuing, because we'd be hard-pressed to find existing subpages that are named the same as their rootpages. And at this point I'm not certain that the OP's solution works for all cases.  P.I. Ellsworth &numsp;- ed.  put'r there 09:27, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
