1) On CC, old threads typically shouldn't be revived. I don't have a problem with it, but it's the established mindset here.

2) Your reply doesn't answer what the poster is looking for. If you choose an existing page as a topic today in the method you described, a new page will be created with the same name but in the "Topic" namespace (Topic:Templates). They were looking to find out how pages were being treated as topic pages but are not in the "Topic" namespace (Templates).

My guess is that this issue might be related to Staff-created topics as Staff created all topics here in the past or it could be related to redirecting a main namespace article to a topic page. I wasn't sure back then (still not) so I never replied.
