Help:Archiving

A user's talk page is used as communication between users of a wiki. When your talk page gets too long, you should archive it, as some browsers may have trouble editing very long pages. It is also a good idea to choose a number of messages to archive at, such as at every fiftieth message, you archive it.

How to Archive
First, go to your talk page. Click the "edit this page" button at the top of the talk page. Then, click and hold the mouse button at the beginning of the text inside the edit box, and drag it to the end of the text inside the edit box. After all of the text inside the edit box is highlighted, right-click the highlighted text, and click " C opy". Then erase all of the text in the edit box, and add the following code to your talk page.

Save the talk page. Then, click the /Archive 1 link, and right click in the edit box. When the menu comes up, instead of clicking C opy, this time, click P aste. All of the text that you highlighted and copied will now be in the edit box. Save, and you're done! If you have any questions or problems, just ask your mentor (if you do not have one, see Project:Adopt a User), or one of the bureaucrats, Eulalia or Kitsufox.
