redirect=no
I'd like to have an optional (configurable) feature that adds  to the talk link if it is found to be a redirect. Does this sound reasonable? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 03:53, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Seems orthogonal to the purpose of this script. You could as easily create a quick script that adds  to the talk link all the time. Anomie⚔ 13:13, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, adding it all the time would pollute the browser history with extra entries in cases where the talk page is not a redirect, so you can probably see how I don't agree entirely with "orthogonal." I could add this feature to my common.js, but it would be a bit tricky making sure that code only runs after your script is done.
 * It would probably be easier for me, with my limited JS experience, to fork this script (like I already did w/ linkclassifier). I hope you don't mind. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 18:20, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm curious what your use-case is? Are you doing a lot of redirect tagging or something? (examples almost always help! :) –Quiddity (talk) 20:58, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm doing a lot of redirect tagging, but the issue here is not specifically about that. I don't really have a well-defined use case (in other words: "because I can" and "it doesn't hurt to ask"). --SoledadKabocha (talk) 22:14, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Nested templates are handled badly
If a talk page contains, it isn't being detected as containing only templates. Jackmcbarn (talk) 15:51, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your remark, I noticed also some pages where the talk link is blue where it should be orange (for example National Central Library (Florence)), this will be the explanation. I hope the maker can find a solution for this. Bever (talk) 20:53, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Let's try that. Anomie⚔ 23:22, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Is it possible to make the talklink script more granular?
Hi Anomie, I hope you're doing well. A while back we implemented your talklink color script as an official gadget on the Danish Wikipedia to solve a dispute about WikiProject tracking banners on talk pages (basically some people found it frustrating to click on a blue link thinking there had been discussions about the article, only to find a banner). However, since your original code just checks if the page has templates, all templates trigger the colour change and some templates do indicate discussion about the article (such as To do). Is it possible to alter the code to either whitelist certain templates so they don't trigger the color change or to only trigger the color change if a specific group of templates are present?

 * It's possible, sure. Someone would have to do the work. Anomie⚔ 00:43, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
