[top]Archiving a talk page
If there is nothing previously archived:
You're done!
- Add
{{Archives1|~~~~~}}
(yep, five tildes!) to the top of the talk page.
- Cut out the pieces that you would like to archive (pasting them into a notepad is a good idea so you don't lose them!)
- Save the talk page.
- The top of the talk page will now look something like this:
Past discussions archived to... :*...Main:Archival/Archive01 Archived 05:26, 8 June 2006 (EDT) |
- Follow the red link to create the archive.
- Add {{Archive}}, to the top of the new blank page.
- Paste the contents you cut earlier.
- Save.
You're done!
[top]Adding another archive
If there's already an Archives(n) tag in a page, you basically follow the above procedure, but instead you modify the existing tag, e.g.:
-
{{Archives1|03:22, 3 June 2006 (EDT)}}
becomes
{{Archives2|03:22, 3 June 2006 (EDT)|~~~~~}}
