MEpedia:Archiving

From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history

Archiving is a process for saving old discussions for reference purposes while keeping the current discussion page from becoming so long that it becomes difficult to read or use.

In the source editor

If you are using the source editor, and a discussion page gets very long, you can use the templates {{collapse top}} and {{collapse bottom}} to condense any resolved conversations and make the page more readable.

Note: Make sure to place {{collapse top}} below the relevant section header so that other contributors will still be able to see what the discussion was about and consult it if relevant to a question they might have. Also make sure to place {{collapse bottom}} on a new line entirely by itself.

Please do not collapse any discussions that are not yet resolved.
