When you delete an article, there's a helpful function to remind you
to delete the talkpage too. I suspect that getting people to remember
to reinstate talkpages would be a lot easier if we had a coded hook to
check for the existence of a talkpage, and flag up a reminder to
restore it.

(Do we already have one? I don't do very much page-restoring these days...)
