Help:Archiving talk pages

Archiving talk pages is something this wiki strongly encourages.

How do I archive pages here?

In fact, we've made it very easy for you to do so. On your own talk page, pull the edit button drop-down menu down to "archive". Follow the instructions that follow. It'll take you seconds.

What if I've used a different archiving method?

If you've already archived your pages by another method, you can retrofit the new method by making sure that all your archive pages are in the format User talk:username/Archive #, as with User talk:Tangerineduel/Archive 2.

Then, on your current talk page, you need to replace your current archiving scheme with the simple template call, {{ArchCat}}. On each individual pre-existing archive page, you then need to replace your current archive message with {{ArchPage}}. That's it! Each new archive you make with the drop-down ArchiveTool will now automatically fit into your other archive pages.
