Thus, these discussions have to do with matters of policy and procedure that help to maintain and develop this wiki. | ||
<h3>Restarting an archived conversation</h3> | <h3>Restarting an archived conversation</h3> | ||
Should you wish to reply to a topic in this forum, start a new topic in the [[Forum:Panopticon|Panopticon]] forum and add a link to the archived discussion in your new one. Good titles for reopening an archived discussion typically retain the original title somewhere in the new title. This practice allows a search for the topic name to reveal ''both'' the old and new discussions. For example, if there was an archived discussion here called [[Forum:Collective nouns]], a good title for the re-opened discussion would be [[Forum:Collective nouns revisited]] or [[Forum:Collective nouns again]] or [[Forum:Collective nouns: the next generation]]. Anything that retains the original title is a good choice. | Should you wish to reply to a topic in this forum, start a new topic in the [[Forum:Panopticon|Panopticon]] forum and add a link to the archived discussion in your new one.

==Thread list== | ==Thread list== | ||
In active forums, threads are sorted by the time the thread was last edited. That is, the threads that have been most recently edited are at the top. That's not a useful way to organise things in an archive, however. Here, the threads are in reverse order of '''creation'''. As you go further down the list, you go back in time. Thus, in general, the threads at the bottom of each category describe a state of the wiki ''furthest removed'' from today's reality. | |||
