Archiving

Discussions older than seven days (date of last made comment) are moved to a sub page of each section (called (section name)/Archive). These discussions will be kept archived for seven more days. During this period the discussion can be moved to a relevant talk page if appropriate. After fourteen days the discussion will be deleted from the archive and main pages. They will still be accessible via page history but will not be searchable. For discussions before July 1, 2004 and the history before September 26, 2004, see Wikipedia:Village pump archive.
