Broken archives

[edit]
Archives for archive 1 works.

I hve redicit here but this rediciton was the archive below. So that the talk page was that archive. Those are not right. It should be these archives right. To a curret verzion page. I just get these redicits are broken.--70.225.141.61 (talk) 23:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In response to the HTML comment added to the top of this section, I can explain what was going on. Previously WP:XYZ and Wikipedia:XYZ were separate pages in the Wikipedia namespace, but this was changed in December 2007 so that the WP pseudonamespace became an alias of the Wikipedia namespace. This caused problems for this page because it used to be at the title Wikipedia:Archive, which was confusing because the all-uppercase shortcut for archiving a talk page which used to be at WP:ARCHIVE was now at Wikipedia:ARCHIVE in the Wikipedia database. When I realised the nature of this problem, I moved the historical archive to its modern title to fix up the namespace/pseudonamespace conflict. Graham87 (talk) 14:52, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Lag redirect

[edit]

Wikipedia:Lag currently redirects to Wikipedia:Historical archive/Lag. However, I feel it would be better as a disambiguation page in the vein of WP:Dead and WP:DB, which in addition to Wikipedia:Historical archive/Lag links to documentation about database lag in the current MediaWiki software (mw:Manual:Maxlag parameter, mw:Manual:Database access, mw:Manual:$wgSlaveLagWarning etc.) Any suggestions/comments? SoledadKabocha (talk) 17:39, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds sensible to me. Graham87 08:53, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd need a few days to get around to actually drafting something. Also, not all of the documentation in question is necessarily on mw:; I'll keep looking in project space here. SoledadKabocha (talk) 21:04, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Add deleted cleanup templates

    [edit]

    I think that cleanup templates that were widely-used eons ago but were deleted later for various reasons (e.g. {{totallydisputed}}, {{noncompliant}}, {{unencyclopedic}}) should be in the historical archive. lo prenu .katmakrofan. (talk) 22:17, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm sort of ... meh about this, admittedly partly because I'd probably have to do the work of putting them there. :-) Most of the pages in the historical archive are there to preserve old history from 2004 or earlier, and I don't see much point in preserving the history of (relatively modern) templates. Note that the history at {{Unencyclopedic}} is at the title {{NOT}}. Graham87 08:35, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Grouping collections

    [edit]

    I've just grouped the policy-related pages together as a fonds under a subpage: see Wikipedia:Historical archive/Policy. I'll gradually do the same for the other categories of item. I also created {{Wikipedia historical archive collection}} for use on the collection indexes.  — Scott talk 16:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
