Thread:Skin talk:Chameleon/Message (icon) links to non-existent page

When I click on the message icon (envelope) on the navbar it takes me to a page that does not exist. For example, if the user is "Allen", the clicking on the icon will take me to a page with the following title and text:

"===User talk:Allen?redirect=no=== User account "Allen?redirect=no" is not registered. There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or edit this page."

This happens even though there is a talk page for the user (i.e. User_Talk:Allen) already in existence which Mediawiki created when the user account was opened.

It appears that the icon link url "User talk:name?redirect=no" is being used as the page tile which results in an empty search. Any suggestions as to what is causing this and work around?

Thanks
