Category:Talk pages with comments before the first section

This is a tracking category. It is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. More information: This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set. These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications). Typically, tracking categories are automatically populated by templates invoked in pages or by the MediaWiki software (see Special:TrackingCategories for an overview of the latter).

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This category has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors. This notice will hide itself when this category has fewer than 2500 items. (recount)

This category tracks Talk: namespace pages which the software has detected have comments placed before the first (if any) section header. It is populated by MediaWiki:Discussiontools-comments-before-first-heading-category (see also Special:TrackingCategories). These kinds of pages don't have the table of contents in the expected location (in most skins), have caused issues (and may continue to cause issues) with how the software on mobile displays this area of a talk page, and archiving bots will not archive these topics where set up.
