Bulky talk pages may be hard to navigate, contain obsolete discussion, or become a burden for users with slow Internet connections or computers. Notices are placed at the beginning of the talk page to inform all editors of an archive.</p> <p>Regular articles are not archived because previous versions may be seen in the <i>history</i> tab; the practice of archiving is particular to talk pages and noticeboards, which often swell to great length. Archiving one's own user talk page is optional; some users simply <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BLANKING" title="Wikipedia:BLANKING" class="mw-redirect">blank the page</a>, as the history is kept available for future reference, but this is not considered the best practice (as it makes things more difficult to find and link). For this specific case, the use of "permalinks" can provide an easy way to display an archived view of a talk page at a given moment, though there's no control on thread organization or presentation.</p> <p>The <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#When_to_archive_pages" title="Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines">talk page guidelines</a> suggest archiving when the talk page exceeds 75 KB (or 75,000 bytes), or has multiple resolved or stale discussions. However, when to archive, and what may be the optimal length for a talk page, are subjective decisions that should be adapted to each case. For example, ongoing discussions and nearby sections they reference should generally be kept intact.</p> <p>There may be circumstances where it would be useful to keep older discussions present on a talk page, to avoid the same issues being repeatedly raised. However, this situation can be better addressed by use of the <code>{{<a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:FAQ" title="Template:FAQ">FAQ</a>}}</code> template.</p> <p></p> <div id="toc" class="toc"> <div id="toctitle"> <h2>Contents</h2> </div> <ul> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-1"><a href="#Subpage_archive_method"><span class="tocnumber">1</span> <span class="toctext">Subpage archive method</span></a> <ul> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-2"><a href="#Cut_and_paste_procedure"><span class="tocnumber">1.1</span> <span class="toctext">Cut and paste procedure</span></a> <ul> <li class="toclevel-3 tocsection-3"><a href="#Step-by-step_procedure"><span class="tocnumber">1.1.1</span> <span class="toctext">Step-by-step procedure</span></a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-4"><a href="#Options"><span class="tocnumber">2</span> <span class="toctext">Options</span></a> <ul> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-5"><a href="#Automated_archival"><span class="tocnumber">2.1</span> <span class="toctext">Automated archival</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-6"><a href="#Navigation_templates"><span class="tocnumber">2.2</span> <span class="toctext">Navigation templates</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-7"><a href="#Archive_boxes"><span class="tocnumber">2.3</span> <span class="toctext">Archive boxes</span></a> <ul> <li class="toclevel-3 tocsection-8"><a href="#Automatic_archive_boxes_for_numbered_archives"><span class="tocnumber">2.3.1</span> <span class="toctext">Automatic archive boxes for numbered archives</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-3 tocsection-9"><a href="#Automatic_archive_boxes_for_year.2Fmonth_archives"><span class="tocnumber">2.3.2</span> <span class="toctext">Automatic archive boxes for year/month archives</span></a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-10"><a href="#Archive_indexing"><span class="tocnumber">2.4</span> <span class="toctext">Archive indexing</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-2 tocsection-11"><a href="#Archive_searching"><span class="tocnumber">2.5</span> <span class="toctext">Archive searching</span></a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-12"><a href="#Continuing_discussions"><span class="tocnumber">3</span> <span class="toctext">Continuing discussions</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-13"><a href="#Example_pages"><span class="tocnumber">4</span> <span class="toctext">Example pages</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-14"><a href="#Other_procedures_for_archiving"><span class="tocnumber">5</span> <span class="toctext">Other procedures for archiving</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-15"><a href="#See_also"><span class="tocnumber">6</span> <span class="toctext">See also</span></a></li> </ul> </div> <p></p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Subpage_archive_method">Subpage archive method</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Archiving_a_talk_page&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Subpage archive method">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <p>The preferred method for archiving a talk page is to copy the older content to a series of <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Subpages" title="Wikipedia:Subpages">subpages</a>. This can be performed either <a href="#Cut_and_paste_procedure">by hand</a> or <a href="#Automated_archival">automatically</a> by a bot.</p> <p>There are two common methods of naming archive pages. The most common, and easiest, is sequentially numbered archives. Archive pages should be named as follows: take the name of the talk page, and add "<code>/Archive #</code>", where "<code>#</code>" is the number of the archive. Note that the word <i>Archive</i> has a capital <i>A</i>, there is a space before the number, and there are no leading zeros. Templates like {{<a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Archive_list" title="Template:Archive list">Archive list</a>}} rely on this naming convention to automatically find the archive pages.</p> <p>For example:</p> <ul> <li>The 20th archive of <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Earth" title="Talk:Earth">Talk:Earth</a> would be named <code>Talk:Earth/Archive 20</code></li> <li>The first archive of <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Example_user" title="User talk:Example user" class="mw-redirect">User talk:Example user</a> would be named <code>User talk:Example user/Archive 1</code></li> </ul> <p>The second common method of naming archive pages is by year and month. With this method archive pages are typically named <code>Talk:YourPage/Archives/2013/June</code>, <code>Talk:YourPage/Archives/2013/July</code>, etc. Some things are more complex with this method of naming. When using this naming scheme the subpages should use <code>/Archives/</code> not <code>/Archive/</code> as some of the navigation templates rely on Archives being plural.</p> <p>Remember to use the correct namespace – the part before the colon (<code>:</code>) – when archiving your own user talk page. It should start with "<code>User talk:</code>", not "<code>Talk:</code>".</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Cut_and_paste_procedure">Cut and paste procedure</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Archiving_a_talk_page&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cut and paste procedure">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <div style="margin-left:0px"> <table class="navbox collapsible" style="background: transparent; text-align: left; border: 1px solid silver; margin-top: 0.2em;"> <tr> <th style="background: #CFC; text-align:center; font-size:112%; color: black;">Simplified procedure for archiving</th> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: solid 1px silver; padding: 8px; background: white; font-size:112%;"> <ol> <li>Edit the talk page, copying material you wish to archive to your computer's <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipboard_(computing)" title="Clipboard (computing)">clipboard</a>.</li> <li>Create an archive by searching for "User talk:username/Archive N" where N is the lowest whole number for which no archive exists.

The purpose of archival on article talk pages should be to remove stale discussions, not to stifle discussion. Article talk page threads should not typically be archived in less than 30 days except for very busy talk pages.</p> <p>The maxarchivesize parameter determines how large each archive is allowed to grow before the a new archive is started. Keeping this value larger than a typical talk page allows the archives to be browsed more easily, but increases page load times. Each individual archive should not be larger than 512kB, because this may cause accessibility problems for some devices. Because a long thread can "overshoot" the maxarchivesize parameter, the parameter should always be set lower than the maximum acceptable archive size.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline"

Common usage is to place the archive box below other header templates and before the first section heading so that the box appears to the right of the <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Section#Table_of_contents_.28TOC.29" title="Help:Section">table of contents</a>. If the page already has a manual archive box, add the link to the new archive page to it. If there is no archive box yet, you may want to set one up. If you have a very large number of archives (such as <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page" title="Talk:Main Page">Talk:Main Page</a>) you may want to see how that page uses a separate subpage to list the archives.</p> <table id="archivebox" role="presentation" class="ombox ombox-notice mbox-small" style="text-align: center; background-color:#F8EABA; border-color:#C0C090;"> <tr> <th><img alt="" src="//web.archive.org/web/20150617142259im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2a/Replacement_filing_cabinet.svg/40px-Replacement_filing_cabinet.svg.png" width="40" height="40" srcset="//web.archive.org/web/20150617142259im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2a/Replacement_filing_cabinet.svg/60px-Replacement_filing_cabinet.svg.png 1.5x, //web.archive.org/web/20150617142259im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2a/Replacement_filing_cabinet.svg/80px-Replacement_filing_cabinet.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="200" data-file-height="200"/><br/> Archives (<a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Archiving_a_talk_page/Archive_index" title="Help talk:Archiving a talk page/Archive index">index</a>)</th> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:left;"> <div style="text-align:center;"><a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Archiving_a_talk_page/Archive_1" title="Help:Archiving a talk page/Archive 1" class="mw-redirect">1</a>, <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Archiving_a_talk_page/Archive_2" title="Help:Archiving a talk page/Archive 2" class="mw-redirect">2</a></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div class="mw-inputbox-centered" style=""> <form name="searchbox" class="searchbox" action="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search" id="searchbox"> <p><input class="searchboxInput mw-ui-input mw-ui-input-inline" name="search" type="text" value="" placeholder="" size="22" dir="ltr"/><input name="prefix" type="hidden" value="Help:Archiving a talk page/"/> <input type="submit" name="fulltext" class="mw-ui-button" value="Search"/><input type="hidden" value="Search" name="fulltext"/></p> </form> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Threads older than 90 days may be archived by <span class="nowraplinks"><a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ClueBot_III" title="User:ClueBot III">ClueBot III</a></span>.</td> </tr> </table> <ul> <li><b><code>{{<a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Archives" title="Template:Archives">Archives</a>}}</code></b></li> </ul> <dl> <dd>generates a floating box for archive links.

If an archive box is displayed in a talk namespace it is usually displayed with the standard talk page color scheme. If it is displayed in a non-talk namespace it uses the standard color scheme for article space.

archive box to the above right. The example here has no month names which are links because there are no archive files for this page. You can, of course, delete the lines for the years you don't want.</p> <p>The default for the {{<a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Archives_by_months" title="Template:Archives by months">Archives by months</a>}} template is that archive page names are in the format <span class="nowrap"><code>YourPage/Archives/2013/June</code></span>, <span class="nowrap"><code>YourPage/Archives/2013/July</code></span>, etc. However, {{<a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Archives_by_months" title="Template:Archives by months">Archives by months</a>}} allows you to specify various naming conventions for your archives. Archives can have an arbitrary prefix by using the <code>archprefix</code> parameter (e.g. <code>archprefix=Archive/</code> instead of Archive<ins>s</ins>/). Months can be in four formats: A) the default uses January, February, March, etc.; B) <code>abbrev3=yes</code> months are Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.; C) <code>numbers=yes</code> months are 1, 2, 3, ... 12; D) <code>numbers0=yes</code> months are 01, 02, 03, ... 12.</p> <p>If you are using ClueBot III, it has a couple of additional options for creating an archive box. These involve the use of either the <code>archivebox</code> or the <code>index</code> parameters. See the <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ClueBot_III#How_to_archive_your_page" title="User:ClueBot III">ClueBot III page</a> for more information.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Archive_indexing">Archive indexing</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Archiving_a_talk_page&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Archive indexing">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <p>Having an archive index makes finding old discussions on a given topic easier, particularly in pages with many archives, or when the archives are of considerable size. An archive index, when one exists, is typically stored on the page <code>Talk:YourPage/Archive index</code>. While it is possible to generate an index by hand, the <code>/Archive index</code> page is normally generated automatically. There are two bots which automatically create indexes: <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Legobot" title="User:Legobot">Legobot</a> and <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ClueBot_III" title="User:ClueBot III">ClueBot III</a>.</p> <p><a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Legobot" title="User:Legobot">Legobot</a>, formerly <a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:HBC_Archive_Indexerbot" title="User:HBC Archive Indexerbot">HBC Archive Indexerbot</a>, can create an archive index page based on a set of archives.

Legobot generated archive indexes are the most commonly available type of index. To set up Legobot archiving you <b>need to place</b>:<br/> <code></code><br/> onto your <code>Talk:YourPage/Archive index</code> page. The following is a Legobot configuration that works with numbered archives which you can place on the page you are archiving:</p> <table class="wikitable"> <tr> <th colspan="2">Example Legobot configurations</th> </tr> <tr> <th>Numbered archives</th> <th>Archives/Year/Month</th> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td> <pre> {{User:HBC Archive Indexerbot/OptIn |target=/Archive index |mask=/Archive <#> |leading_zeros=0 |indexhere=yes }} </pre></td> <td> <pre> {{User:HBC Archive Indexerbot/OptIn |target=/Archive index |mask=/Archives/<year>/<month> |indexhere=yes }} </pre></td> </tr> </table> <p><a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ClueBot_III" title="User:ClueBot III">ClueBot III</a> automatically creates an archive index when archiving. ClueBot III stores the archive indexes it creates on unique pages in its user space.

For example, suppose we want to begin a discussion about adding a security section to the Linux article. Before bringing up the topic we can do the following search: <code><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="//web.archive.org/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=security+prefix%3ATalk%3ALinux%2F&fulltext=Search">security prefix:Talk:Linux/</a></span></code>.

It is recommended that when a page is archived, such a template be put on the surviving talk page to simplify access to past discussions.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Continuing_discussions">Continuing discussions</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/web/20150617142259/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Archiving_a_talk_page&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Continuing discussions">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <p>It is difficult to say exactly when a discussion "ends" and when it is continuing.
