Help:Archiving talk pages

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Archiving talk pages is something this wiki strongly encourages.

How do I archive pages here?[[edit source]]

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?[[edit source]]

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.
