Date Links Size Edit summary
Diff · History 56 Category:Wikipedia discussion archives
Diff · History 5 Cut and paste procedure: typo
Diff · History -19 Cut and paste procedure: {{atn}} has fewer links that {{archive nav}} (which I think is actually a good thing)
Diff · History -139 Cut and paste procedure: {{archive box}} and {{archivebox}} have been merged
Diff · History 312 instructions are confusing when applied to user talk archives, reword.
Diff · History -12 Refactoring is NOT an alternative to archiving. Eventually the page will be long enough to need archiving anyway, no amount of refactoring will solve that. Complementary, yes, but not an alternative.
Diff · History -144 Get rid of the bit about the size limit. These days this affects essentially nobody, and the long page warning is now set at 70Kb for talk pages anyway. I've seen too many rediculously short archives.
Diff · History 99 Examples: there's a standard archive header template now ({{talkarchive}}), so no need to copy it off another page; give some useful examples instead.
Diff · History 488 Procedure: "Purists will note that the URL can be radically trimmed"? We might as well make this information useful. And who put server load in? That's rediculously negligible here.
Diff · History 39 move "automated archival" to the end, and reword. it may be cut-and-paste but it's completely different from manual archiving methods, mainly since you're not meant to use it for article talk pages.
Diff · History 142 Subpage archive method: sentence from removed section
Diff · History -628 Controversy: remove, this is an instructional page, and it's hardly a "controversial" problem anyway. the only useful part is the bit saying stick to one method, which I'll put at the top.
Diff · History -845 Archive table: remove section, it only mentions one of the available templates and they're already mentioned in the procedure for archiving pages
Diff · History 494 Subpage archive method: rewrite
Diff · History 6 Subpage archive method: except there aren't 20, so don't link it
Diff · History 40 make things a bit clearer
