Forum:Archiving article talk pages

Hopefully a quick one.

Can we archive article talk pages by year, or by something like per ten topics? It just gets to be a pain trying to scroll down even the table of contents for some pages every time. 05:22, June 12, 2015 (UTC)

I say after every 50 topics or so would do. Some articles go for years without any new topics, so a year-by-year basis seems hard for some cases. 05:40, June 12, 2015 (UTC)

As JOP said, I'd say every ten topics/sections. 07:53, June 12, 2015 (UTC)

Do we have to set a specific "unit"? Can we just split up the page as we see fit? There are single section that goes on forever while other have just a couple of replies.

I suggest every 100 edits. (I really have to be careful in replying starting then)

Though no matter what "unit" you suggest, it will never be uniform...


 * Actually, I correct myself: we could use the page dimension as unit, we can check it in the page history. That way you can set a defined limit that will be the same for all pages. That or just use common sense.

I suggested 10 topics, because that's the amount at least I can see on the table of contents without scrolling when the page first loads- Like so. 15:04, June 12, 2015 (UTC)

10 is obviously too short. Should only be decided by length. SeaTerror (talk) 19:48, June 12, 2015 (UTC)
